The Tragic Death of 63-Year-Old Nguyet Le

Nguyet Le was a manager in an Arby’s restaurant.
One night in 2023 she went into the freezer
(Temperatures in Arby store freezers are usually
ten degrees below zero).

She got trapped in the freezer and pounded
on the freezer door until her hands were
bloodied, and she collapsed into the fetal position
on the floor and froze to death.

According to a lawsuit filed by her family, the freezer
door had been broken since 2022 and “employees
used a screwdriver to help open and close the door”
and “a box of oil to help keep the freezer door open.”

Horrible way to leave this world, and I hope the
family wins the lawsuit.

And I hope Nguyet Le is in a better place now free of
the worries and the sorrows of this uncertain world
where tragedies are always only a moment away.

And things that only happen to other people can
happen to me and you.
