Yeah, horrible way to die.

Just like the factory worker who fell into the huge vat of French Polish. At least he had a beautiful finish.

Depends if you are on the clock or not..

what about the smell .

heard a story of a guy trying to break into a house through the chimney and got stuck and died.

This seems very weird.

I understand how it could happen, but going 10 years without being found? The smell would have been horrific. Can't understand how it took them so long to find him.

This story is local to me and it's been discussed at length on the local groups and forums since he was found almost a year ago. The general consensus as to why the smell wasn't a big thing was for two reasons. First, it was near the dumpsters where expired food and waste was thrown out so it smelled in that area anyway. And two, the heat from the compressors would have basically cooked him. Not to sound gross but seeing as how human flesh is nearly identical to pork, the smell would've basically been the same as rotting pork/beef/chicken in the dumpsters 20 feet away. It just kind of blended in.

And as for not being found for so long, the store closed 3 years ago. It's been sitting empty since and they only found him while demolishing the inside of the building. Add to that he was an illegal immigrant who had been deported once before, no one was really looking for him either.

And he was prescribed anti-depressants the day before he ran outside in a snowstorm and disappeared.

No one missed him... What a tragic end.

I suspect a few folks missed him...

Murillo-Moncada's parents reported their son missing

[KFC911]

I'd be owed a few comp years....fer sure!

[Crowbob]

Just a guess, but if you were dead OT pay or not would be a mute point.

[Tobra]

People missed him, they just quit looking for him after a while

I bet he was pretty much mummified

[HardDrive]

As above, heat from an industrial cooler would have baked him pretty quick, so the smell would be minimal. And bad smells are not exactly unusual in the back of a grocery store, especially in the summer. I worked in them, I would know.

Tragic, I can't imagine what it must be like to see pharma taken then a person go irrationally to their death.

I've paid employees whose productivity indicated they might be dead.
