DELLE, Utah — A man was found dead in the sleeper cab of a semi-truck Thursday morning. The truck was on the Delle on-ramp to I-80.

The Utah Highway Patrol said via a press release, “The death is suspicious in nature, and we suspect foul play.”

The man has now been identified by officials as Jaspinder Singh and is from California. The exact age for the deceased is still unknown.
