An Amazon warehouse worker died on the job in Oregon, and employees were told to continue working for over an hour as the body lay nearby. Amazon disputed some employee accounts, stating that the area was cordoned off and CPR was performed until EMS arrived.

An Amazon warehouse worker collapsed and died on April 6 at the company's PDX9 fulfillment center in Troutdale, Oregon. Employees reported being told to continue loading trucks for over an hour as the 46-year-old man's body remained on the floor. According to Amazon, the worker died from a pre-existing medical issue, and three CPR-certified team members performed CPR until EMS arrived. Amazon stated that it closed operations shortly after EMS arrived and sent workers home with pay. However, employees reported being kept in the building for about two hours after the collapse and were not initially informed of the death. The next day, workers received a text from management instructing them to report to work as usual.
