Coroner identifies Kennewick man found in scorched truck

The Benton County coroner identified the Kennewick man found dead inside a burned pickup truck in Columbia Park on Friday.

Frank Kobory, 62, died in the silver Ram Dakota pickup truck parked in a grassy area near the blue bridge.

Kobory was alone, though investigators say they aren’t sure if the fire was intentional or accidental, said Kennewick police Sgt. Randy Maynard.

He said they’re not investigating the death as a crime, though police are asking witnesses to come forward if they saw something.

Dental records were used to identify Kobory, said Benton County Coroner John Hansens.

He said Kobory had no obvious wound and they are waiting for lab results to determine how he died.
