Law enforcement officials in Texas on Thursday found the remains of a suspected migrant hanging from a tree 80 miles from the state's border with Mexico.

A graphic photo taken by the sheriff's office and posted online by Breitbart, which first reported on the investigation, shows a man's skeletal body hanging from a long piece of cloth around his neck.

"We have never seen anything like this in our county," Brooks County Sheriff Benny Martinez told the news outlet. "We regularly find deceased migrants in this county, but never anything like this. This is what our deputies and the Border Patrol agents have to deal with here," he added.

Martinez told Newsweek that the body was naked, and that law enforcement officials found folded clothing next to him. They suspect the man was hung with his own shirt, and that the body had been at the scene for at least a week.
