An autopsy says a Mexican woman found hanging on the border wall in southern Arizona choked to death in an accident when she became entangled in climbing gear.
The Pima County Medical Examiner’s report, conducted for the Cochise County Sheriff’s office, said Griselda Anais Verduzco Armenta, 31, was discovered suspended from the border wall entrapped by a cord, tie-down straps, and seat belt around her neck, chest, and arms.
The report, released this week, said Verduzco Armenta had abrasions to the head, torso, and extremities, along with contusions, a laceration on her lower right leg, and a fractured vertebra.
The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office previously said that the woman was found at approximately 11 p.m. on April 11.
