A dead body was found in an Arby’s walk-in freezer in Louisiana this week, prompting an investigation from police. 

The body belonged to a manager of an Arby’s restaurant in New Iberia, Louisiana, and the death is believed to be an accident, according to police. The body was found around 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. 

“So it was an employee that discovered the female deceased inside the cooler, [and] the deceased is an employee of the restaurant,” New Iberia Police Captain Leland Laseter, the head of criminal investigations, told KADN News 15.

“A situation like this is unusual, so we’re taking extra precautions during the investigation,” Laseter added. “[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.”

Laseter acknowledged that the death did seem “suspicious” but said police had not yet uncovered any evidence of “foul play.” He added that “nothing is set in stone” and said that they were still waiting for medical examiners to determine the cause of death. 

“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,” he said. 

The woman’s name has not yet been released.

Arby’s responded to the news by releasing a statement saying that it would be cooperating with police and deferring any comment to investigators. 

“We are aware of the incident that took place at our franchised location in New Iberia, LA,” the statement said. “The franchisee is cooperating fully with local authorities as they conduct their investigation. Due to this being an active investigation, we defer any further comment to the police department.”

New Iberia, a city of around 28,000, is located in the southern portion of the state, not far from Lafayette. 

Last year, an Arby’s in Washington also earned unwanted attention after police said that they discovered videos of a night manager urinating in in milkshake mix. Police were investigating the man on suspicion of obtaining and distributing child pornography.

Homeless veterans are being kicked out of several New York hotels as officials brace to take in more migrants from the southern border, according to a group that works with U.S. military veterans.

Sharon Toney-Finch, CEO of the Yerik Israel Toney Foundation, told the New York Post that 20 homeless veterans were told they would need to end their stay early at hotels not far from New York City and find somewhere else to go. 

“Our veterans have been placed in another hotel due to what’s going on with the immigrants,’’ said Tony-Finch. She said that 15 veterans were kicked out of Crossroads Hotel in Newburgh and five others were moved from a Super 8 and a Hampton Inn and Suites in Middletown.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been moving migrants, many of whom crossed illegally into the U.S. and are awaiting court dates, to Orange County, where both Middletown and Newburgh are located, because the Big Apple has seen such an influx of migrants. 

Tony-Finch, whose foundation works with homeless and low-income veterans, said she received calls from some of the veterans after they were told they would need to move out. Veterans moved out include those who fought in Vietnam and Afghanistan. 

“He [one veteran] told me he had to leave because the hotel said the extended stay is not available. Then I got another call. We didn’t waste any time,’’ Tony-Finch told the Post. “That’s when we started on Monday to organize when and where to move them all.”

Tony-Finch said that they were in the process of finding permanent housing for the veterans, who she arranged to move to a hotel in Hudson Valley, but that the veteran’s trust in the foundation was damaged because of the move. “Now we have to work from ground zero. We just lost that trust,” she said. 

One reason the veterans were moved out, according to Tony-Finch, is that the hotels get paid more by New York City to house migrants than by the foundation to house vets. “That’s so unfair, because at the end of the day, we are a small nonprofit, and we do pay $88 a day for a veteran to be there,” she said.

State Assemblyman Brian Maher said that America’s veterans should be respected and that they should get priority over migrants. 

“Whether you agree with asylum-seekers being here or not, we can’t just ignore these veterans that are in our charge that we are supposed to protect: the New Yorkers and Americans,” Maher, who represents Orange County told the Post. “We need to put them first.”
