EL PASO, Texas — A U.S. Border Patrol agent found severely hurt beside a remote West Texas highway along with his injured partner died of “blunt force trauma” to his head caused by an “undetermined manner of death,” according to an autopsy report released Tuesday night. The report sheds little new light on how agent Rogelio Martinez was fatally injured. Martinez also had multiple bone fractures when he and the other agent were found on Nov. 18 in a culvert beside Interstate 10 near Van Horn, Texas. A barbiturate called Butalbital — often found in drugs combined with aspirin, codeine or caffeine — was in Martinez’s system, Diaz-Cavalliery found. Texas is offering a $20,000 reward for similar information.
