TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say a man from Mexico has died at a Tucson hospital after showing symptoms of dehydration.

They say the 30-year-old man died Monday. His name wasn't immediately released.

The man was at a centralized processing facility operated by U.S. Border Patrol on Sunday.

Medical personnel assigned to the Tucson Coordination Center became aware that the man in their custody had dehydration symptoms.
