A Nicaraguan man's tragic drowning was captured on camera Sunday - the result of a failed bid to illegally cross the Mexico - United States border.
C.R, 53, and his friend E.C, 42, were seen struggling to stay afloat as the Rio Grande's current picked up strength between Piedras Negras, Coahuila, and Eagle Pass, Texas.
A news camera crew spotted C, a former radio host, hanging on to a concrete column in the middle of the river while R. battled the current and tried to keep his head above water. He later went under as Texas National Guard soldiers looked on.
He left his family behind in December 2021 after he received death threats for covering an government demonstration and was among several migrants who paid a smuggler $3,000 to be taken to Piedras Negras, Coahuila, in order to reach Texas
R. was swept down the international waterway and his body found near an islet further down the river.
C. somehow continued on and made it to a second set of concrete pillars under a bridge, where he sat on top of a tree branch.

23 People Drowned After Overloaded Wedding-Party Bus Falls Into A Flooded River (Kenya; ~12/2021; 1 Video Of Disaster, 3 Videos Of Rescue And Body Recovery, And Story Included)
"The driver of the bus, where 23 people got killed, had waited for nearly two hours before he made the decision to cross a river in Kenya. Though some of the wedding attendees stated they were getting late for the occasion, the driver insisted that he was not familiar with the bridge, hence, expressed fears of crossing. A survivor, S.K, told that the driver got confident after two vehicles and some contractors crossed the flooded river. Some travellers who were stranded by the river banks also hopped onto the bus with the hope of getting a lift to the other side. "We were about 40 passengers when leaving in the morning. Around 10 seats were empty. As we were crossing the river, the 51-seater bus was full with more than 15 people standing," the survivor told. He said that he was pulled out through the window by one of the divers who rushed to the scene to save lives. "I felt a hand grab my shoulder and pull me out through the window. I thank God for sparing my life," he added.
As of Saturday evening, 23 bodies had been retrieved and 10 survivors had been rushed to the Hospital. Officers from the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) have since been deployed to help with the rescue mission. Preliminary reports indicated that members of the bridal party, her three children and two grandchildren, were also on the bus. This is a river and it was flooding. The driver lost control and slid into a ditch. The bus capsized next to the bridge. The driver has also died."
R.I.P. to the victims, and may their family and friends find peace.

KALIMANTAN - A self-proclaimed crocodile shaman who said he had the power to control crocodiles was killed in a suspected attack by one of the reptiles in Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan, last Saturday (Sept 16).
The shaman, Suprianto, had been looking for the body of a boy who had gone missing in Muara Jawa estuary the previous day.
Disturbing footage showed Suprianto swimming and chanting in the estuary's waters before he was dragged under.
Kutai Kartanegara police chief Fadillah Zulkarnaen told local media that two bodies were recovered on Sunday. Suprianto's body was found floating at 9.40pm and his body was intact.
"I think he was dragged by a croc under the water and then ran out of oxygen," he added.
"From the pictures I've seen, his body is still intact, his arms and legs are still there."
The body of the boy, Arjuna, was also intact.

The final moments of a British grandmother who drowned on holiday in Egypt have been caught in a devastating video showing her being flung off a banana boat.
Janice Bowles' daughter screamed ‘She's dead, she's dead' as she pleaded with her mum to wake up after the boat flipped and sent passengers "flying in different directions."
The 58-year-old had been on a Thomas Cook trip to Hurghada with her two daughters and other family members when tragedy struck on August 28.
Footage, taken by the family, shows her on the inflatable with a group of five others as they are towed by a boat in the sea.
Janice Bowles was on holiday with her daughters and other family members(Facebook)
Mum-of-two Ms Bowles, from Bristol, can be seen sat at the front behind daughter Hannah Barcroft, 36.
In the clip, the driver encourages the group to wave their hands in their air - something Ms Bowles does not do - before the boat picks up speed and flips on its side.
Screaming, shouting and pleading for help, daughter Hannah then watched in horror as her mother gasped for breath.
