Police say a body found on top of a tractor trailer driving on Interstate 95 in northern Virginia was the result of an apparent suicide off the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.

Maryland State Police say a driver saw a man fall over a pedestrian overpass and land on top of the trailer Tuesday afternoon. The driver called 911 and police in Virginia pulled the truck over on southbound I-95 near Lorton, about 11 miles away.

Police found the body of 38-year-old Jeffrey Matheny of Gaithersburg, Md., on top of the canvas-covered, open-bedded trailer, which was hauling waste products.

Matheny was pronounced dead at the scene. The medical examiner has ruled his death a suicide.

Oh my how gross,bet that trucker was really flipping out,first wondering why he was being pulled over.
Then seeing a dead guy on his trailer must of really left him rattled.

I don't understand the people that involve others in their suicides,especially people that have no contact or connection to the deceased. Certainly would have an adverse effect I would think on an innocent person.

Ain't that something....

Pigman, your exactly right.The images left in this drivers mind will never leave him and he will probably always wonder if he could have done something different. He could not have, but it is human to wonder.

Good suicide choice. Body should then have become part of the load.
