Amazon worker dies on warehouse floor in Oregon. Workers were told to keep going as body stayed put [View all]

https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/healthcare/articles/just-dont-look-amazon-worker-170000180.html
"A worker collapsed and died on the floor of an Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) warehouse in Troutdale, Oregon, on April 6 — and for more than an hour, employees say they were told to keep loading trucks as the body lay nearby.

The incident at Amazon's PDX9 fulfillment center was first reported by The Western Edge (1), an independent investigative outlet covering the Pacific Northwest, and confirmed by Amazon to TechCrunch (2). The worker was 46 years old, according to public records. His name and cause of death have not been disclosed."
