At around 6:30 p.m. local time on Thursday night, a different employee of the New Iberia restaurant, which is situated about 130 miles west of New Orleans, discovered the body inside the freezer, according to the authorities.

Several police cars and officers can be seen outside the restaurant in viral clips as they investigate what led to the finding. After the bones were discovered in the walk-in freezer, police initially announced that they were looking into a “suspicious death.” Her cause of death hasn’t been established yet.

Later, Capt. Leland Laseter of the New Iberia Police Department told KADN TV in Lafayette that he now thinks the death might have been an accident after initially describing it as ‘suspicious’. He said, “A situation like this is unusual, so we’re taking extra precautions during the investigation. [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.”

“Nothing is set in stone yet,” Laseter added. Police questioned a number of restaurant staff members, but no suspects have been identified.

The victim’s identity and the cause of death will be known after the results of the coroner’s autopsy are known, according to the authorities. “We’re going to re-examine all the evidence tomorrow and they’re going to conduct an autopsy to give us the cause and manner of death. So there are a few more steps that we need to take before a (final) determination is made,” Laseter said.
