Local police and medical personnel in northwestern Missouri are investigating the death of an Amazon employee who was apparently attacked by a pair of dogs while delivering a package on Monday evening.
The Amazon driver was found dead in the yard of someone's residence near Excelsior Springs, about 30 miles east of Kansas City, at around 7:30 p.m. local time, Ray County Sheriff Scott Childers told CBS News on Tuesday. The driver, whose name has not been released publicly, was delivering a package at the unoccupied home. The residents were out of town, said Childers, who confirmed that the sheriff's office has spoken with the people who live there.
Ray County sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the house after concerned neighbors called to report that a vehicle had been parked outside for several hours, which they found suspicious, Childers said. When deputies arrived, they discovered the driver lying in the yard with injuries that the sheriff said were "consistent with canine bites," although he noted that an official cause of death will be determined after an autopsy is conducted Wednesday.
