Man Found Dead in Truck in Charles River

Robert Piccirillo, 52, was found dead this past Sunday afternoon inside of his pickup truck that was partly underwater in the Charles River in Millis.  

Authorities reported that a pedestrian discovered the truck off of Dover Road on a walk at about 12:00pm.  There is currently an investigation into how Piccirillo’s truck ended up in the water.  It is believed that the truck had been in the river for approximately six hours before the passerby reported the finding to police.

An autopsy was scheduled for yesterday and that may help officials determine how Piccirillo died and ultimately what may have caused the accident.

It has been reported that investigators involved with this accident are determining whether or not the weather played a deciding factor in how Piccirillo and his truck were found in the Charles.  There were numerous car accidents Sunday morning, due to icing on the roadways in the early morning hours.
