A third body, thought to be swept away by floodwater, was found in Nogales on Sunday, officials say.

The body, said to be a man, was found by a passerby near 30 Old Tucson Road, said Sheriff Tony Estrada of the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office. 

Estrada believes the man was swept away by floodwater from Mexico into Arizona. 

This is the third body found by officials following flooding in Nogales last week.
