Body found in truck near Salinas Sports Complex

A body was found Monday morning inside a locked truck after the truck was towed from the Salinas Sports Complex to a demolition yard, police said.

The cold storage truck that was parked near the Salinas Sports Complex had been converted into a makeshift home, and police said they believe a man who was found dead had been living inside it.

Investigators said the?truck was locked from the inside and they found a shotgun near the body. The man's death is being investigated as a suicide.?

"The body had been in the trailer for a long period of time -- several months to even a few years based on the state of decomposition," police officer?Miguel Cabrera said.

His family filed a missing person report more than a year ago, police said.?

"The trailer had been locked from the inside, using padlocks and a chain. The keys to the padlocks were found inside the trailer, indicating the victim would lock himself in the trailer,"?Cabrera said.

The body was discovered because the truck was towed from the Salinas Sports Complex to a demolition yard to be destroyed. Henningsen Construction workers broke the truck's door open.

"Workers for the construction company had to cut a chain that was keeping the only entrance to the trailer closed. Once inside, the workers found the body of an adult male lying inside the trailer,"?Cabrera said.
