Man Found Dead After 68 Days

Authorities are still trying to figure out why an Oregon man stayed in his stranded truck for 68 days, and eventually dying, rather than walking the three miles to a road and possible help. A published reports states that Thursday, U.S. Forest Crews found the body of Jerry William McDonald, 68, in a sleeping bag in the back of his GMC pick up, about 60 miles east of Salem.   They found a calendar with enteries for each day from February seventh until April 15th, when the entries stopped. Although McDonald is listed as a "transient", his truck is registered in Unity, Oregon.  He was estranged from his family and no one has reported him missing.
