Source: The Guardian
Authorities believe the deaths occurred from exposure to extremely low temperatures reaching up to -31F
Four people, including an infant, have been found dead near the Canada-United States border, after a failed crossing attempt during brutal blizzard conditions.
The grim discovery came as officials south of the border announced the arrest of a US man on human smuggling charges.
Officers discovered the bodies of a man, woman and baby close to the border partially buried in the snow. A young boy, believed to be in his teens, was found nearby.
