TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- The U.S. Border Patrol has found the bodies of five illegal immigrants during a three day span along Arizona's stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border.

A Border Patrol spokesman, Rob Daniels, says the body of a 30-year-old man from Mexico City was found Wednesday southeast of Sierra Vista, about seven miles north of the border.

Daniels says the body of another man from Mexico also was found Wednesday near Topawa.

He says a decomposed body was discovered Tuesday, four miles south of Gunsight.

Daniels says the body of a 17-year-old girl from the state of Chiapas was found Monday, about 10 miles east of Sells.

He says another body was found Monday near Queen's Well.

Craig Shoemaker of the National Weather Service says temperatures in southern Arizona have hit or exceeded 100 degrees for 14 straight days.
