Nearly all of the victims were found near the truck, while two later died at a hospital. Sixteen people had been taken to hospitals, including four kids.
A south Texas sheriff's office almost 90 miles away from Houston said as many as 82 of those people left the tractor-trailer when it broke down Friday morning.
Sixteen people were taken hospitals with heat-related illnesses, with four later dying. At least four were in critical condition, according to the hospitals. Among those were a 23-year-old woman in serious condition and an adolescent male in critical condition at University Hospital in San Antonio, Wolff said.
Those in the trailer were part of a presumed migrant smuggling attempt into the United States, and the investigation was being led by U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, McManus said.
