Two bodies found in Canton

Two bodies were found Tuesday behind a Canton shopping center, police said.

The men's bodies were discovered behind the Harmon Center strip mall in the 500 block of Marietta Road.

Police don't suspect foul play, Canton police spokesman Detective Alan Rivas said.

One of the men was identified as a 39-year-0ld from Guatemala, but his name is being withheld pending notification of family members. The other man had no identification, police said.

Autopsies will be performed on both bodies Wednesday at the Georgia Bureau of Investigations crime lab, Rivas said.
