“The bodies of two dozen people washed ashore Friday in southern Mexico after emergency officials received reports that a boat carrying Central American migrants capsized in the Pacific Ocean.

The corpses have not yet been identified, and officials said the government was searching the waters for more bodies around the coastal town of San Francisco del Mar, 320 kilometers (200 miles) up the coast from the Guatemalan border.

Sergio Segreste, the Oaxaca state public safety secretary, said 24 bodies, all of adult men, washed ashore.”*
