The sheriff says a preliminary investigation indicates that animal bites were a factor in Amazon worker's death The Ray County Sheriff's Office is investigating the death of an Amazon delivery driver Monday on a property in the Wood Heights area, which is outside of Excelsior Springs.
Sheriff Scott Childers said the Amazon worker was found dead early Monday evening in a yard.
Neighbors reported to the sheriff's office that the delivery truck had been parked in front of the house for a few hours.
The sheriff's office said there were animals on the property, and a deputy killed two dogs at the home.
Childers said a preliminary investigation indicates that animal bites were a factor in the Amazon worker's death but that it remains under investigation.
Amazon released a statement to ABC News in response to this incident, saying: “We’re deeply saddened by tonight’s tragic incident involving a member of our Amazon family and will be providing support to the team and the driver’s loved ones.
