A body has been found tangled up in the series of buoys that the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) had installed along the Rio Grande as a floating barrier to prevent illegal border crossings by water.
On Wednesday, Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Texas DPS officials had notified Mexican authorities that they had recovered a lifeless body around the southern end of the string of buoys. The identity of the deceased person is unclear, and Mexican officials stated they did not know the cause of death or nationality of the body that was recovered.
