A worker at an Ohio convenience store was found dead inside a walk-in freezer at the shop early Wednesday morning, police said.
Marysville police were called to the United Dairy Farmers shop shortly after 4 a.m. when 50-year-old Colin Cole, who had worked the overnight shift at the store, WBNS-TV reported.
Police said another employee at the convenience store, which is about 25 miles northwest of Columbus, arrived for work at the shop early in the morning and could not locate Cole — until she made the macabre discovery.
Marysville police said store employees left at closing time, around 1 a.m., but the victim returned sometime later. A manager reported finding the body according to news10.
According to the store’s Facebook page, the convenience outlet closes at 1 a.m. and reopens at 5 a.m. It remained unclear why the employee had returned to the store following the store’s closure.
