Border officials reported this week that on June 22 one man died and another was injured after falling from the border wall.
At about 11 p.m. video surveillance operators saw four people climbing the international boundary in Yuma County and one of them fell over on the U.S. side.
Border Patrol agents arrived and found the man, identified as a Mexican citizen, lying face down on the concrete beneath the wall and bleeding from his head. He was unconscious but had a pulse.
While the man received emergency medical services, another adult male Mexican citizen fell from the wall and was injured on his back and abdomen but stayed conscious. He is currently in stable condition.
The fire department rescued a third man stuck on top of the border wall and Border Patrol took him into custody and arrested one more man just north of the barrier.
San Luis Fire Department transported the two injured men to Yuma Regional Medical Center where the unconscious man died.
