Men Found Dead Inside Box Truck In Northeast Philly: Reports

PHILADELPHIA — Authorities in Philadelphia are investigating the death of two men whose bodies were found in "suspicious positions" inside a box truck parked in the northeast section of the city.

According to Action News, the men were found at about 8 p.m. at Bustleton and Unruh avenues in Northeast Philadelphia.

Fox 29 reports the men, one ages 64 and the other in his 50s or 60s, were found dead on the floor in the front of the truck. Both men were known in the area to live inside the truck.

Preliminary investigation did not show signs of trauma, struggle, or drug use.

"Where their bodies are located is very unusual. They're not sitting in the driver's seat or passenger seat. They were actually stuffed in the floorboard area in front of the seats," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said. "So their bodies are positioned...very unusual positions for the two of them, and they are both large males. It's unusual the way we found the bodies."

Anyone who has information on the deaths should contact Philadelphia Police at 215-685-8477.
