QUEETS — A man was found dead in a truck near Yahoo Lake in West Jefferson County, about 25 miles northeast of Queets.
A truck, parked on a forest road near Olympic Corrections Center, was found by a motorist driving by at about 1 p.m. Saturday, said Jefferson County Sheriff’s Sgt. Andy Pernsteiner.
“The truck was found by a tourist who had taken a wrong turn onto the forest road,” Pernsteiner said.
Foul play is not suspected, and the death is being considered a possible suicide, Pernsteiner said.
The man’s body, which has not been identified, was turned over to the Grays Harbor coroner, he said.
The man is believed to be from Aberdeen, Pernsteiner said.
The cause of death is not available until after a ruling is made by the coroner, he said.
An autopsy may be done early this week.
