0:22Now PlayingFifty people have died after being abandoned in a tractor-trailer in the sweltering Texas heat, one of the worst tragedies to claim the lives of migrants smuggled across the border from Mexico to the U.S. More than a dozen people had been taken to hospitals, including four children.

Hours later, body bags lay spread on the ground near the trailer and bodies remained inside as authorities responded to the calamity.
