(Body found in the Westside Main Canal)…The County Coroners office says they had been searching for the man since Sunday. Henry Proo said Sunday Border Patrol agents witnessed the man go under in the All American Canal, about five miles west of Calexico. Rescue efforts were immediately initiated, but they could find nothing. At around 6:00 Monday evening, the body was spotted in the Westside Main. An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the exact cause of death. Proo said it is suspected the man drowned. The suspected illegal immigrant has been identified, but Proo says the name cannot be released until his family is notified.
