Mexican man dies in Border Patrol custody

A Mexican man who was arrested in Arizona by Border Patrol agents on Sunday has died while in government custody, according to the agency.

The unnamed man, a 49-year-old citizen of Mexico, was apprehended by agents working near Tucson, Arizona, Sunday around 1 p.m. local time. He was arrested near Casa Grande, though Border Patrol’s parent agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, did not specify if he had illegally crossed the border or what led to his arrest.
