Well, I'm no doctor but I'm pretty sure he was dead. Besides no Americans would be in that neck of the woods on foot. His skin was pretty much gone or toasted black but he still had all his hair, which was black. Mostly by the way he was dressed...typical migrant worker attire, long sleeve shirt buttoned to the top. Ok, I admit, I was profiling! It did look like he fed a few coyotes for a while.
