Six Migrants Found Dead in Texas Rail Yard from Suspected Heat
Texas officials announced that six illegal immigrants were found dead Monday inside a shipping container along the southern border. They pointed to extreme heat as the likely cause.
The Webb County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed the deaths of three men, one woman and a 14-year-old boy at the Union Pacific Railyard in North Laredo.
The sixth person has not yet been positively identified.
Investigators said the deceased originated from Mexico and Honduras.
Following initial examinations, authorities determined that the 29-year-old woman died from hyperthermia.
While formal medical exams for the remaining five people are pending, officials said it is "highly probable" that hyperthermia was the cause of death for the entire group.
