A Texas family is suing Arby’s for negligence and wrongful death after their matriarch, an employee, died inside a freezer at a Louisiana restaurant.
The New Iberia Police Department said a female victim, later identified as Nguyet Le, 63, was found dead inside a walk-in freezer at an Arby’s location on East Admiral Doyle Drive.
A lawsuit filed Thursday by Le’s four children in the district court of Harris County, Texas, alleges she died because of a faulty freezer door latch – and that the store’s franchise operators knew about the problem and neglected to fix it.
