Tucson, AZ: "accident" or foul play?

This is scary. Check out the A.P. article below on a immigrant who, contrary to the evidence given by his family, shot and killed himself.

Someone needs to do some serious investigation of what happened. If he was a migrant and if he was shot, my guess is that a ranchowner or vigilante could have pulled the trigger.

This just doesn't sound right. Not at all. I'd be interested to hear what the official word is from the Border Patrol as well.

Illegal Immigrant Found Dead in Desert Apparently Shot Himself

An illegal immigrant found dead in the desert south of Tucson apparently died from an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The Pima County Sheriff's Office says Reymundo Beltran-Aispuro died in a remote area after he entered the country Friday with his cousin and a group of other illegal entrants.

The cousin, Israel Beltran-Aispuro, told deputies they were crossing a fence when someone shouted ``stop,'' and then there was a gunshot.

The cousin says Reymundo Beltran-Aispuro then yelled that he'd been hit.

One member of the group used a cell phone to call relatives in California, who informed the Border Patrol.

Homicide detectives were still awaiting final autopsy results yesterday from the Office of the Medical Examiner
