The body was discovered by a tow truck driver sent to retrieve the disabled vehicle.
ZEBULON, N.C. – Authorities in North Carolina are investigating after they say a man was killed while trying to steal parts from a disabled car.
The body was identified by family members as 50-year-old Joshua Larry Diehl. Authorities believe that Diehl was attempting to steal the car’s catalytic converter when the jack he was using to hold the car up malfunctioned, pinning him under the vehicle. Police do not know how long Diehl was under the car before he was discovered.
Police believe Diehl found the car sometime after the owner was picked up, and made the attempted theft.
