Eleven Decomposed Immigrants Found in Locked Iowa Rail Car
Eleven suspected illegal immigrants, badly decomposed, were found in a sealed grain hopper near Denison, Iowa. Authorities believe they may have died from overheating or asphyxiation after being locked inside for months during smuggling. Bodies were moved to Des Moines for examination as officials work to identify the victims and determine causes of death.
