They tried hard to save him for six days. He no longer regained consciousness. Martínez Montes was one of the great real estate entrepreneurs in the state. He was a pioneer in the city of Chihuahua with the Roma Group and also in Juárez.

Two undocumented workers “died suddenly” in New York:
Another dead Mexican immigrant found in New York, the second in two weeks
September 8, 2022
Domingo Galindo González, an undocumented Mexican reported missing in mid-August, was found dead in a morgue in New York, his family reported. It is not known how he died. "We know nothing, absolutely nothing," said his cousin Adela Herrera. Galindo was 43 years old, an undocumented Mexican immigrant who arrived in New York four years ago, worked in a laundromat in the Bronx and lived in that same county. He left three children and a wife in his country. The last time he showed up for work was on August 15, and that same day he had been paid his salary of almost $800. "He left here well," said his cousin Abelino Galindo. Since then no one has heard from him. César Solano, a community activist, accompanied cousin Adela to the police station to report him missing two weeks later. “We have been denied police support several times, because this time we went to the precinct and they couldn't help us,” Solano said. Adela says she learned from a Facebook post that Galindo's body had been in a morgue in the Bronx since August 16.
The NYPD said that Galindo had no identification and that the autopsy indicates that he choked, as doctors found food stuck in his throat. But they are carrying out more advanced studies to know exactly the cause of death. The family created a GoFundMe page to raise funds for his funeral and to repatriate his remains to Xalatzala, Mexico.
In a similar case, Ricardo Solano, a 30-year-old missing Mexican food delivery man, was confirmed dead in late August by New York police. He had been found unconscious and without identification on Saturday the 20th on West 147th Street, about three blocks from where he lived. He was taken with symptoms of cardiac arrest to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead an hour later. But without identification, the authorities were unable to contact his relatives.
