Homeless man found dead in catering truck on UT-Arlington campus, school says

ARLINGTON -- A homeless man was found dead in the cab of a catering truck on the UT-Arlington campus Monday morning, a school spokeswoman said.

No foul play was suspected.

The man was identified as Christopher Blacknall, 32, of Dallas, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner’s office.

A catering vendor employee found Blacknall’s body inside the truck about 10:30 a.m. and called police, spokeswoman Bridget Lewis said. The truck was parked outside of the University Center, a campus union, near West 1st Street and West Street.

Police were still investigating Blacknall’s death, but authorities told WFAA-TV he died of a medical issue.
