BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Officials in Ontario, Ore., say a Fruitland, Idaho man whose body was found in the parking lot of an Oregon truck dealership died of exposure.

The Idaho Statesman reports an autopsy performed on 27-year-old Israel Zuniga Jr. determined that Zuniga died of exposure and no foul play was involved. Ontario police released the results of their investigation Tuesday.

Zuniga’s body was found under a semi truck on Jan. 3. He was last seen leaving a New Year’s Eve Party at about 1 a.m. on Jan. 1.

Police say Zuniga was not wearing adequate clothing for the cold temperatures. They are still awaiting the results of toxicology tests.
