Police are investigating the death of a man whose body was found beside a truck at Marsden Park this morning ( November 14).
Mount Druitt Police were called to a private Richmond Road construction site at about 5am, following reports from the owner that a truck had been abandoned.
When officers arrive, they saw that a truck fitted with a crane had struck overhead wires.
The truck’s engine was still running and a man was seen lying beside the vehicle.
As the area was still electrified, emergency services were unable to immediately reach the man until the area was rendered safe.
Paramedics were unable to revive the man.
The incident occurred on private property and not at Sydney Business Park.
An investigation is now underway into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Police will prepare a report for the Coroner.
Police urge anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000
