The body of a man was found near the U.S.-Mexico border on Sunday, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department
Officials had no further details. But members of a volunteer group that found the body near state Route 94 in East County believe the man perished in the Harris fire, which started Oct. 21 and burned 90,000 acres.
The victim was crossing the border near Tecate with a group of Mexican nationals but was apparently caught in the fire, according to his brother who was with the search group.
