Officials are investigating the possible first fatality from the Ridgecrest earthquake in California
Police in rural Nevada are investigating the death of a man who was found pinned underneath a vehicle as being possibly connected to the powerful earthquake that struck Ridgecrest, California.
The 56-year-old was last seen alive at a local gas station in Pahrump on July 3, the Nye County Sheriff's Office said. He was found Tuesday. "The vehicle that the male was pinned under had been jacked up safely and based on the positioning of the body and the tools found at the scene, the male appeared to be working on the vehicle at the time of his death," Sgt. Adam Tippetts said.
