A U.S. Border Patrol agent answering a call to an emergency beacon in a remote desert area Thursday found a dying man and saved him, a Border Patrol spokesman said. The 27-year-old from Guatemala was severely dehydrated from the heat. The man, whose name was not released, had crossed into the U.S. with a group of immigrants, probably near San Miguel, about 30 miles south of Sells, Border Patrol Agent Michael Scioli said. “He was severely dehydrated, being in such horrible condition he just couldn’t keep up with the group,” Scioli said. He made his way to an emergency beacon and pushed the button, setting it off around 7:40 p.m. and alerting agents someone needed help, Scioli said.
