The bodies of three unidentified men have been found by farm workers in a canal near Huron in the last two weeks, Fresno County sheriff’s deputies said. Although the bodies were found in different locations, officials believe the men were killed within 48 hours of each other and dumped in the canal together. The men were probably beaten with a blunt object and then thrown into the water unconscious, officials said. Investigators suspect the men were illegal aliens who were working on a local farm.
