Detroit Police found Boeglin’s body inside the cab of his Freightliner, most of which had been destroyed in a fire.
Five shell casings were found outside the truck, Detroit 14 reports, and medical examiners concluded gun shot wounds are what caused Boeglin’s death, Fox 2 Detroit reports.
Boeglin’s wife, Ashley, says she talked to him around midnight. Ashley is pregnant with the couple’s first child, the reports say.
Boeglin had parked at a building that was abandoned and gutted by scrappers while he waited to pick up a load at a nearby steel plant, according to Fox Detroit.
