Death of man under vehicle believed due to California quake -officials

A Nevada man found dead and pinned underneath his Jeep is believed to have been a victim of one of the recent earthquakes in southern California that ranked among the most severe in two decades, sheriff’s officials said on Wednesday. An earthquake of magnitude 7.1 shook the remote town of Ridgecrest in the Mojave desert on Friday, 1-1/2 days after one of 6.4 magnitude, both of which were felt as far as Los Angeles and Las Vegas. “This is what we believe is an earthquake-related death,” said Sgt. Adam Tippetts of the Nye County Sheriff’s office, but the man’s name was not released, pending notification of his family.
