The county coroner says McGarvey fell off his truck and onto the forklift's controls, causing the boom to start moving. McGarvey was positioned in such a way that his chest was crushed against the forklift's roof as the boom raised.
A passer-by saw McGarvey pinned by the lift and called police.
The coroner says McGarvey was an independent trucker who often worked alone loading his truck.
