DES MOINES (AP) — An Oklahoma woman whose body was found in the back of a semitrailer in Chariton was pinned inside the trailer as it was being loaded with lettuce, a medical examiner said Wednesday.
Dr. John Kraemer, director of forensics for the Iowa medical examiner’s office, said an autopsy indicates that Sheila Kay Ross, 47, of McLoud, Okla., died as a result of an accident.
“Preliminary autopsy results indicate the cause of death to be due to compressional asphyxiation and at this point in the investigation, her death appears to be accidental,” Kraemer said.
The woman’s body was found Tuesday in the back of a semitrailer delivering lettuce to a Hy-Vee grocery store distribution center in Chariton.
Ross was reported missing Saturday by her husband.
