DELLE, Tooele County — State investigators are looking into the suspicious death of a semitruck driver whose body was found inside his rig on a Tooele County on-ramp on Thursday.
On Thursday, officials identified the man as Jaspinder Singh, of California. Troopers said they did not know his age.
At about 10:15 a.m., the Utah Highway Patrol was called to investigate a report of a deceased man in the sleeper cab of a semitruck stopped on the on-ramp to I-80 near Delle. The man was found by a co-worker who told police that he noticed that the GPS on the man's truck was not moving and decided to go check on him, according to a statement released Thursday afternoon by the State Bureau of Investigation.
"The death is suspicious in nature, and we suspect foul play. The State Bureau of Investigation will be conducting the investigation and the county attorney has been notified," the agency stated.
No additional information was immediately released, including why foul play is suspected.
