Authorities say they have discovered the body of a second man who was swept away by heavy flooding in the twin border cities of Nogales earlier in the week.

Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada said Friday that search crews discovered the body Thursday afternoon about 14 miles upstream, two days after the Nogales Police Department was alerted by Mexican authorities.

The body of the first man was found Wednesday north of the border near downtown Nogales, Arizona.
