Body of Fort Worth man found under highway overpass on Loop 820, police say
A 46-year-old Fort Worth man was found dead last week under a ramp at the Interstate 30 and Loop 820 East interchange, authorities said.
Officials with the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office on Tuesday had not yet made a ruling on his cause of death and manner of death.
Authorities said employees of the police department pulled up on what looked like an abandoned truck on the freeway Thursday and approached the vehicle. While searching around the truck, employees saw the body of a man under the eastbound Loop 820 ramp toward the bridge for I-30.
The incident left all westbound I-30 lanes closed for about an hour while authorities investigated before the two left lanes reopened.
