The bodies of three suspected illegal immigrants were found in the Arizona desert. Border Patrol agents said the bodies of three suspected illegal immigrants were found in southern Arizona. Authorities say the three deaths were likely caused by triple-digit desert temperatures. Border Patrol agents said the three victims were found at separate incident locations on Saturday. Patrol officers in the Casa Grande neighborhood reported seeing a pregnant woman sitting next to her late husband. A Guatemalan couple who had been crossing the border for two days had been abandoned by their husband, who had collapsed. Later that day, patrol officers found the remains of his husband, a man in his 70s, in Tucson. On Saturday night, patrol officers discovered the naked body of a man in his 30s northwest of Lukeville. From the posture, it seemed that he wanted to take off his clothes to cool down.
