Early investigation reports indicate a tow truck driver found deceased in a company yard is not the victim of foul play.

The Pas RCMP were contacted by the family of the man just before 7:00 p.m. on Thursday night.

The 49-year old owner operator was found by family members in the lot of the tow company he owned.

Police say it appears the victim was pinned between his tow truck and the vehicle he was unloading at the yard.

The investigation into the death is in its early stages and will move forward in cooperation with the Workplace Safety and Health Board.

An autopsy has been ordered.
