Summary
- A 32-year-old physician was found unresponsive in a store freezer.
- She entered the store the previous night and found an employee-only area.
- Authorities have ruled out foul play and are investigating personal issues.
A shocking discovery was made at a Miami Dollar Tree on Sunday morning when an employee found the body of 32-year-old physician Massiell Garay Sanchez inside a freezer. The young mother, originally from Nicaragua, had reportedly entered the store the previous evening and found her way into a restricted, employees-only section where the freezer was located.
Authorities have confirmed that Garay Sanchez was not an employee of the store. While foul play has been ruled out, investigators are continuing to probe the circumstances surrounding her death. They are reportedly exploring whether she was experiencing any personal or mental health issues at the time of her passing.
The Dollar Tree remained closed for several hours on Sunday while police conducted their investigation and spoke with Garay Sanchez's family. Her family has described her as a devoted physician specializing in congenital heart disease and a loving mother to two children. A GoFundMe has been established to help return her body to Nicaragua for a funeral.
