Authorities ID 47 of the migrants found dead inside an abandoned truck in San Antonio

Most of the 53 migrants who died in what appears to be the deadliest human smuggling case in modern U.S. history have been identified, authorities said. As of Wednesday, the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office has "conclusively identified" 47 of the people found dead inside an abandoned tractor-trailer in San Antonio last week. Of them, 22 were from Mexico, 19 from Guatemala and six from Honduras. Their ages range from 13 to 55, according to the medical examiner's office. The medical examiner’s office also released a list of the names, ages and nationalities of 22 of the migrants already identified. Four of the fatal victims were minors. Guatemalan teens Pascual Melvin Guachiac Sipac, 13, and Juan Wilmer Tulul Tepaz, 14, are the youngest victims so far, alongside Mexican 16-year-olds Misael Olivares Monterde and Yovani Valencia Olivares. Different consulates have been assisting the medical examiner’s office in the process of identifying all the fatal victims, the agency said in a statement. They are still working together to identify the six remaining victims. The names of nearly half of the fatal victims were released a week after charges were filed against four men in connection with the human smuggling case. On June 27, San Antonio police and Homeland Security investigators found 64 migrants, some inside the truck, in the sweltering Texas heat and others in its vicinity, according to the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Texas. Forty-eight of them died at the scene and 16 others were transported to hospitals. Five of those 16 people died at the hospital.
