Man found under SUV died from skull, brain trauma

A 57-year-old Central Falls man found dead under his SUV Sunday in a Cumberland parking lot died from injuries to his skull and brain due to blunt force trauma, the state Medical Examiner's Office announced this afternoon.

Arthur Hyatt, a Vietnam War veteran, died Sunday — his birthday — in the parking lot of a Cumberland American Legion Post.

The police and bar patrons said that they believe Hyatt drove up one of the lot's ramps but perhaps went too fast and tumbled off the ledge. The police received a call from one of the bar patrons but were not saying yesterday whether there were any witnesses to the accident.
