An investigation is underway after a man's body was found Tuesday in the Tijuana River, just west of the San Ysidro Port of Entry, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) told NBC 7.
CBP said agents on the scene spotted the body at around 7:30 a.m. and requested assistance from the San Diego Police Department.
The San Diego police said the Medical Examiner's office is working to determine the cause of death.
It was the second time in a week a body was found in the San Ysidro River. Last Tuesday, a man died while attempting to cross into the U.S., according to officials. It was too early to determine if the two cases were related.
