People report police are investigating the death of a female restaurant employee, whose body was discovered in the freezer of an Arby’s in Louisiana. Another employee of the New Iberia restaurant found the body inside the freezer at about 6:30 p.m. local time on Thursday night, authorities said.

According to KLFY TV, despite initially calling the death “suspicious”, New Iberia Police Capt. Leland Laseter believes that it could be accidental. Laseter told KADN TV, "A situation like this is unusual, so we're taking extra precautions during the investigation," Laseter told the station. "[We] pretty much have completed our process at the crime scene. After completely processing the crime scene... this does not seem like a homicide, it seems like an accident."

Per KADN, the coroner’s office is currently working to confirm the woman’s identity and cause of death. The investigation is still ongoing.
