GRAPHIC: Migrant Beheaded by Train in Mexico near Texas Border

Authorities in Mexico are investigating the death of an unidentified migrant who is believed to have been decapitated after falling off a train. The fatality comes as the border region between Coahuila and Texas continues to be one of the busiest human smuggling corridors.

The incident took place on Thursday afternoon when Coahuila state authorities responded to an area on the outskirts of the border city of Piedras Negras where an unidentified man believed to be a migrant had been beheaded by a train. The victim is described as a man between 25 and 35 years of age.

Currently, the Coahuila Attorney General’s Office is investigating the case to determine if the migrant fell from the train or if he was pushed off by someone.
