MAURICEVILLE, Texas — A 67-year-old man died following a recent rollover wreck in Orange County.
The wreck was discovered by a resident in the 1500 block of Texla Rd in Orange County Monday morning, according to Capt. Joey Jacobs, of the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
The resident investigated after hearing a steadily barking dog and discovered a wrecked Jeep in a wooded area before calling authorities, Jacobs said.
When deputies got there they found the body of Donald Looney, 67, in the Jeep but the dog would not allow anyone to get close to the man's body and had to be tranquilized.
It is unclear when the wreck happened.
Deputies with Orange County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers are investigating.
Deputies and troopers are awaiting autopsy results, but say that so far there are no signs of foul play.
