Anonymous Associated Press Mon Aug 20, 2012, 08:59 AM CDT

HOLLANDALE, Miss. — Authorities say a Washington County man was found dead inside a truck partially submerged in a creek.

WLBT TV reports authorities are trying to determine what caused the pickup to plunge into the Quitonia Creek east of Hollandale.

Deputies were called to the scene around 12:30 p.m. Sunday.

Washington County Sheriff's Department Assistant Chief Billy Barber identified the victim as 54-year-old David Arrington.

Investigators say passers-by spotted the Hollandale man inside the vehicle.

Arrington is believed to have been the water for a few hours before being found.

An autopsy has been scheduled to determine actual cause of death.
