A Mexican woman has died in Arizona this week after getting trapped in a harness and hanging upside down while attempting to climb the international border wall.
The Cochise County Sheriff’s office said in a statement on social media that they were notified of the incident at the border fence off of International Road and Kings Highway near Douglas on Monday at approximately 11:00 p.m.
“Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the incident and were advised that a call came from Mexican authorities of a female who was ensnared on the border fence at the above location and U.S. Border Patrol agents responded,” officials said.
