Trapped Behind a Cooler: A Tragic Accident
Investigators believe that Larry climbed onto the coolers, a common practice among employees. He slipped into an 18-inch gap between the cooler and the wall and became trapped. Tragically, the loud noise from the coolers’ compressors likely drowned out his cries for help.
