Some of the 50 migrants found dead inside a tractor trailer abandoned in Texas were reportedly sprinkled with steak seasoning in a possible bid by smugglers to cover up the stench.
A law enforcement officer revealed the horrifying detail to the Texas Tribune on Monday, shortly after the 18-wheeler involved was discovered by a city worker on the southwest side of San Antonio around 6 p.m. When authorities arrived on the scene, they discovered the gate of the tractor trailer slightly open and a body on the ground outside.
According to the Tribune’s police source, several more bodies were found along the blocks leading up to where the vehicle was left abandoned, suggesting some of them may have tried to escape the scorching heat.
