On Monday, the US authorities announced 46 people were found dead in an abandoned trailer and explained that 16 other people were hospitalized, 12 adults and four children.

Initial reports indicated the victims apparently died of killing hot.

“The 46 people were warm to the touch; (…) there were no signs of water in the trailer or visible air conditioning system inside, “an official stressed.

The San Antonio Fire Department explained the victims suffered injuries such as heat stroke and exhaustion.
