USA Today: “The death toll after an abandoned tractor-trailer was found in San Antonio continued to grow Wednesday, reaching 53 people in what officials are calling likely the deadliest smuggling incident in U.S. history.
Of the 53 people who died, 40 were identified as male and 13 as female, according to the Bexar County Public Information Office. Most of them have been identified as migrants.
By Wednesday morning, officials potentially identified 37 of the victims and were working to confirm their identities through methods like fingerprint analysis.”
