There they found dead Manuel Trejo Munoz.

Initial investigation indicated that Munoz died of natural causes, Colquitt County Coroner Verlyn Brock said.

Munoz and a couple of other people apparently arrived in Colquitt County a couple of days ago to look for farm work, Brock said. His companions did not know how to get in touch with any family members.

An autopsy has been scheduled. Brock said that Munoz had no injuries to his body that would account for his sudden death.
