Alexander Stenberg, found dead off I-35 exit ramp in Elko New Market, died from extreme cold
SHAKOPEE, Minn. – Authorities believe extreme cold killed a man who was found dead last week on an exit ramp in southern Minnesota.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office says the body of 34-year-old Alexander Stenberg, of Bloomington, was discovered Friday morning off of Interstate 35 in Elko New Market.
Investigators think he stole a van that deputies found earlier in a nearby ditch, and started walking.
Temperatures that morning were in the single digits below zero, but felt more like the minus-20s due to the wind chill.
