Oregon State Police investigators are looking for additional information after sheriff’s deputies found the body of a Vancouver man, who apparently died by suicide, lying alongside his vehicle on Interstate 84 west of Arlington, Ore.
Sherman and Gilliam county sheriff’s deputies arrived in the area Thursday after multiple passers-by called to report the death. Deputies found Phillip H. Webb, 36, dead with a single gunshot wound to his head, according to the Oregon State Police.
The agency said investigators think the wound was likely self-inflicted and said there’s no public safety threat.
Still, callers reported seeing two other vehicles at the scene prior to the deputies’ arrival. The Oregon State Police said the first was described as a dark blue or black, newer-model full-size pickup with a canopy and a male driver. The second was described as a cream-colored full-size pickup.
