Witnesses told Global News that at about 5:45 a.m. there was a white Dodge pick-up truck stalled in the middle of the street by the field.
Cars were backed up behind it and honking.
The witnesses said the truck then slowly went off the road into the field.
A few minutes later, people at a nearby business spotted flames and someone ran out with an extinguisher.
That is when the person saw a body covered with wood scraps.
Delta police are asking anyone who was travelling along the 6400 block of River Road during the early morning hours and witnessed anything suspicious, or who may have dashcam footage from the area, to contact the Delta Police Department at 604-946-4444.
