Inside The Tragic Suicide In An Amazon Warehouse

If you or a loved one is struggling with suicidal thoughts, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or contact the Text Crisis Line by texting TALK to 741741. You can also text or call 988. The heartbreaking incident happened on Friday, August 19, after the 23-year-old employee left work early at the e-commerce giant’s Norwood delivery station. According to the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office, the man drove away from the facility but returned to the parking lot a short time later, where he was found shot to death shortly before 8:15 a.m. The employee died at a hospital the next morning, and the DA’s office said he appeared to have died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and that a Glock handgun was found at the scene. David Traub, a spokesman for the DA’s office, which routinely investigates unattended deaths in the small town, said investigators do not suspect foul play in the man’s death, but that the case will not be closed until an autopsy report is completed. (A spokesman for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said the case is still pending.) “There was video available for law enforcement to review,” Traub told The Daily Beast. “There is no belief that anyone else is involved.” The story continues It is unclear if Jean ever brought a gun into the building. Firearms are prohibited in the e-tailer’s warehouses, and signage throughout the Norwood facility communicates this prohibition. The incident appears to have attracted some warehouse workers who were sent home early that day. In a since-deleted post on Reddit, one person wrote: “Showed up to work this morning and it was a literal crime scene.” The person commented that it was “scary to think someone fired a gun in there” and continued, “Management isn’t giving details and it hasn’t been in the news or anything, so there’s no word from the police.” The 162,000-square-foot Norwood facility is set to open in early 2021. Last August, a former employee made headlines for allegedly stealing a delivery truck and leading police on an hours-long chase through several communities. Police said the 23-year-old suspect showed up at his old job and argued with a manager before taking off in the vehicle. Read more at The Daily Beast. Do you have a tip?
