U.S. Border Patrol agents found the bodies of six people in southern Arizona's deserts from Thursday to Sunday.

They were discovered in various areas of the desert and in separate incidents, said senior Border Patrol agent Dove Haber.

Haber said that as summer temperatures rise above 100 degrees, agents expect to find bodies more often as illegal immigrants brave the heat to get into the United States.
