Lt. Paul Satkowski in a press release issued Friday said a positive identification was made following an autopsy by the state’s chief medical examiner’s office.
Beers resided at 158 Quaker Farms Road.
“Manner and cause of death has been determined to be multiple blunt force trauma caused from the accident,” Satkowski said.
Satkowski said the accident, which occurred Sept. 4 on Rimmon Road, also known as Route 313, remains under investigation.
“The accident remains under investigation pending toxicology results which are expected to take several weeks to complete,” Satkowski added.
The accident occurred around 10:45 p.m. Satkowski said Beers’ Toyota Tacoma pickup truck was found off the side of the road, crashed into a tree, engulfed in flames.
A preliminary investigation revealed the truck was pulling a small landscape trailer, and traveling west on Rimmon Road. For unknown reasons, Satkowski said the driver “failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway, causing the vehicle to drive off the right side of the roadway, up a wooden embankment and striking a tree nearly head on.”
