Two men are in custody after dropping off a body at Harlingen Medical Center Saturday afternoon.

Nurses called authorities when they saw two men leave the body of a 20-year-old La Feria woman at the emergency center.

The men fled the scene in a white Lincoln Navigator.

The woman, Michelle Zapata, was already dead upon arriving to the hospital.

Police said they found the SUV circling the hospital parking lot.

They were both taken into custody and their identities have not been released at this time.

Authorities are expected to release more information pending autopsy results.
