Man found dead inside vehicle on Interstate 15
A man was found dead in a vehicle on Interstate 15 near U.S. Highway 93 early Thursday morning, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.
Trooper Loy Hixon said troopers responded to a call for aid around 4:30 a.m. near the 70-mile marker of I-15.
Responding troopers discovered the body of a man in the vehicle. Las Vegas police said the man may have committed suicide.
His identity and cause of death will be released by the Clark County coroner’s office.
Hixon said I-15 northbound near U.S. 93 was closed because of an unrelated accident involving a tractor-trailer. He said injuries were minor.
The Highway Patrol has turned over the investigation to Las Vegas police because the incident was not traffic- related, according to Hixon.
