Migrant dies from extreme heat after crossing the U.S.

Another migrant has died from the effects of extreme heat after crossing the Mexican border into Arizona.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection released a statement Friday saying the woman, who was a citizen of Colombia, was found in a remote location near Three Points.

In mid-July, the Border Patrol Search, Trauma, and Rescue team responded to a 911 call. They found the woman conscious, lethargic and vomiting.

Agents started treating her for heat stroke and took her to a Tucson hospital, where she later died.

Just a month earlier, a 9-year-old migrant child died at a hospital in Mesa after crossing the border with his mother and a sibling. His mother called 911 near Tubac after he began having seizures.

A medical examiner’s report said he died of hyperthermia, which is when the body overheats, and environmental heat exposure.
