MADRID, 19 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has reported this Thursday that they have recovered the bodies of three migrants in the Rio Grande, between Mexico and the United States.

"Border Patrol agents assigned to the Del Rio Sector recovered the bodies of three deceased migrants in a span of four hours on August 17," reads the press release published by CBP.

The agents found a deceased man floating in the river, around 08:40 local time (15:40 Spanish peninsular time). Two hours later, the body of another male was found near the same area. Officers later located the body of a third man.

The bodies of these three victims, the statement said, have been handed over to the local authorities for their corresponding identification.

CBP estimates more than 200 deceased migrants registered from October 1, 2021 to July 31.
