Arby's manager found dead in a freezer beat on the door until her hands were bloody before

We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Nguyet Le, a widowed mother of four. Nguyet, 63, was a general manager at Arby's and was on a temporary assignment in Louisiana when a preventable tragedy occurred. The incident happened on May 11, as she was opening the restaurant in New Iberia, about 30 minutes south of Lafayette. Nguyet somehow became trapped in the walk-in freezer and died after failing to escape or attract attention.

Nguyet was a dedicated employee, having accepted a relocation from her usual post at Houston Arby’s at the company's request. The initial assignment of a month was extended, and she continued to serve in Louisiana, far from her home and usual support network.

The circumstances surrounding Nguyet's death are heartbreaking and deeply disturbing. She was trapped inside the freezer, where temperatures could range from 5 to -20 degrees.
