Two bodies were found in the Rio Grande on the Mexico side of the Texas border on Aug. 2.

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) notified the Mexican consulate after receiving a report of “a possible drowning victim floating upstream from the marine barrier” on Wednesday afternoon. DPS then notified U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Mexican Consulate about the body.
