Authorities have recovered the body of a Texas National Guard member who went missing while attempting to save two drowning migrants at the southern border.

Texas Army National Guard Specialist Bishop E. Evans, 22, lost his life Friday “while trying to selflessly help migrants who appeared to be drowning as they tried to cross the river from Mexico into the U.S,” the Texas Military Department said.

Evans’ body was found Monday morning after an extensive search involving multiple state agencies. He is presumed to have drowned during the rescue attempt.
