Matthew Livelsberger, 37, a member of the elite Green Berets, took his own life in the rented vehicle filled with fuel containers and fireworks, which then erupted into flames, officials said.

Livelsberger's body was burned beyond recognition, but Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill said authorities had "a lot of confidence" that he was the sole occupant of the Cybertruck.
