Goodyear police are investigating the death of a man who was discovered lifeless inside a semi-truck Friday morning at the Chewy fulfillment center near Litchfield Road and Van Buren Street.
Authorities say there are no clear evidence of foul play following the Aug. 7 discovery on 143rd Avenue, but a warehouse worker tells FOX 10 that the victim went unnoticed inside the trailer for about 20 hours after his shift ended.
Officers from the Goodyear Police Department came to the Chewy business at 8:15 a.m. for a welfare check. Property workers requested assistance after unsuccessfully attempting to contact the driver parked on the lot. Goodyear Fire Department members came shortly thereafter and pronounced the individual deceased on the scene.
Goodyear police have not officially identified or confirmed the deceased’s work position with the corporation. Officials say the inquiry is still active and ongoing as the medical examiner determines the official cause of death.
