Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14317978
Event: 01/15/1997
Employee dies of asphyxia under bags of clothing

Employee #1 had been told to stay late to lock up after the floor crew was finished. After he locked up the store he climbed on top of a pile of garbage bags filled with used clothing. The pile was approximately 10 feet tall and covered an area of approximately 30 by 60 feet. Employee #1 was found five days later buried beneath the upper layer of bags. There has been much speculation as to why he was there.
