located a deceased male behind the u-haul truck outside of the building. at this time it's undetermined how the male is deceased or what his involvement is with the u-haul or the business. >> reporter: now in addition to that broken glass, it appears that the ignition switch may have been tampered with which would indicate that the thuk had been stolen. we're working to confirm that. the police are running the plates on the truck to see if it was legitimately rented from u-haul or whether it was stolen. at the point the alameda county coroner just arrived, that means they'll take away the body. the body found bheen the u-haul truck, between the truck and the patio of life chiropractic. this is an industrial part of hayward but sit a well-traveled part between hayward and the san mateo bridge. there's generally lots of traffic through here. this traffic itself has not been impacted because the investigation is in the parking lot of that chiropractic college. working to find out more about
