Six Unidentified Bodies Discovered Along Canada-US Border in Marshy Area of Quebec

In a tragic discovery, the corpses of six unidentified persons were found on Thursday in a marshy area near the Canada-US border. According to CBS News, the bodies were recovered from the St Lawrence River, and the Akwesasne Mohawk Police Service has launched an investigation into the matter.

The police are currently awaiting the results of post-mortem and toxicology tests to determine the cause of death. Additionally, they are still working to identify the deceased and their status in Canada, as it is unclear if they were migrants attempting to cross the border.

The first body was found around 5:00 pm in a marsh area in Tsi Snaihne, Akwesasne, Quebec, as stated by the police in a social media statement. They have reassured the public that there is no immediate threat to public safety.

The discovery of the bodies has raised questions about the growing issue of illegal border crossings in the area. The Akwesasne Mohawk Police Service and the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribal Police reported a recent increase in illegal entries through their lands and waterways. In fact, some migrants have even required hospitalization.

It is worth noting that in January, the police force noted people involved in human smuggling had attempted to utilize shorelines along the St Lawrence River in the area. This underscores the need for continued vigilance and action to prevent such tragedies from occurring.

The incident comes on the heels of a recent announcement by US President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to sign a treaty restricting thousands of asylum-seeking migrants to move between the two countries along a back road linking New York state to Quebec. The deal, which closed an illegal border crossing point about 66 miles east of Akwesasne, took effect last Saturday.

As the investigation into the six unidentified corpses in Canada-US border continues, it serves as a stark reminder of the need for effective border control measures to prevent such tragedies from happening in the future. It is crucial that law enforcement agencies work together to ensure the safety and security of all citizens, regardless of their immigration status.
