Guatemalan Migrant Woman Dies After Being Left Behind in New Mexico Desert
She was found extremely dehydrated with her breathing obstructed by vomit
A Guatemalan woman who was traveling through New Mexico with a band of migrants was left behind in the Santa Teresa desert when she couldn’t keep up with the group.
She was found by border officials and taken to a hospital, where she died a few days later.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials said they made a traffic stop on August 23, and that’s when they learned from the migrants inside the vehicle that they’d abandoned the woman. They told the Border Patrol Tactical Unit the approximate vicinity where they last saw her.
Agents went to the area and found her lying unconscious on the ground, according to KVIA. Her breathing was obstructed by vomit, she had an irregular heartbeat and was extremely dehydrated.
An ambulance was called to pick her up in Santa Teresa and she was taken to a hospital in nearby El Paso, where she died a few days later.
The results of her autopsy haven't been released.
