FRESNO, Calif. -- Investigators were called out around midnight to Nevada Avenue and 9th Street, where they found a man slumped over inside a white truck. The man was unresponsive and was rushed to the hospital where he later died.



Police are interviewing neighbors - trying to find out what happened to the man.



"At this time, we're looking into the cause of the death. Right now we're calling it suspicious. There's some physical evidence here that doesn't make sense at this point. We're in the early stages of the investigation," said Sgt. Eddie Barrios, Fresno Police Department.



While detectives say the truck was in the middle of the road, they do not believe the man was involved in a traffic accident.
