VIDEO: Police recovered on Wednesday the body of a man dragged by heavy monsoon flooding from Nogales, Sonora, to its twin city on the American side of the border, as authorities continued searching for a possible second body dragged northbound by the rains the day before. Videos of a body being dragged by the flooding had circulated widely on social media by Tuesday evening. The images show the murky brown waters moving rapidly along the wash when at one point the limp body of a man is spotted face down, being swept downstream. Several law enforcement agencies in the U.S. responded on Tuesday at about 4:30 p.m. to unconfirmed reports from their counterparts in Mexico of two bodies being swept across the border.
