REUTERS: A six-year-old migrant child from India died of heat stroke after her mother left her with other migrants to go in search of water, a medical examiner and US Border Patrol said on Friday.

The girl and her mother were among a group of five Indian nationals dropped off by smugglers in a remote border area at 10am on Tuesday, 27km west of Lukeville, a US border town 80km southwest of Tucson. The mother, who did not speak English, communicated through sign language that she had left behind her daughter and two others, prompting a search by US and Mexican authorities, Vasavilbaso said.Border Patrol blamed the death on the smugglers for abandoning women and children in the Sonoran desert wilderness.
