On October 25, at 6:48 AM an unidentified Amazon employee was found in a yard on a property in the Wood Heights area of Excelsior Springs, Missouri. Investigators believe that the suspect was mauled by the home’s two dogs. Neighbors noticed the Amazon delivery truck had been parked in front of a residence in Wood Heights for several hours on Monday evening. But when authorities responded to investigate the truck, they found the body of the driver in the yard along with two dogs that were on the property. The responding deputy shot and killed both the dogs after an initial investigation revealed that animal bites were a factor in the Amazon worker’s death, according to Ray County Sheriff, Scott Childers. Amazon officials say they “lost a member of our family” and they will be helping law enforcement to know what happened. The Amazon employee has not yet been identified. It is unclear if the residents of the home were there at the time of the suspected mauling, or if there had been any history of aggression by the dogs. This circumstance remains under investigation.
