Man Found Dead After Accidental Death Of Twin
BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) ―
Authorities in eastern Pennsylvania say a man accused of accidentally killing his identical twin brother while trying to park a minivan has killed himself.
Lehigh County Coroner Scot Grim says 56-year-old Timothy Willgruber hanged himself in his Allentown home. His body was discovered Tuesday.
Police say Willgruber faced charges including vehicular homicide and drunken driving stemming from the death of his brother Thomas last month in Bethlehem.
Authorities say Thomas Willgruber was guiding his brother into a parking space when he was pinned to another vehicle. He died eight hours later of a severe injury to his femoral artery.
Bethlehem police Capt. David Kravatz said Timothy Willgruber was "devastated" after the accident. Family members said the brothers were best friends who rarely went a day without talking.
