A mother of two and an experienced anesthesiologist was discovered dead inside the walk‑in freezer at a Florida Dollar Tree, authorities report. Police arrived around 8 a.m. after a staff member spotted a lifeless woman inside the shop, according to the Miami Police Department.
The victim, 32‑year‑old Helen Massiell Garah Sanchez, was identified when officers entered the freezer that was located in the store’s stock area.
The employee also informed officers that Sanchez was found unclothed, a detail confirmed by dispatcher audio obtained by CBS Miami. “Complainant found a naked female in the cooler of the store,” read the police scanner transmission.
No signs of foul play have been detected, and surveillance footage shows nothing unusual, the police said. However, the case is still under investigation.
Details about how Sanchez died remain murky. A GoFundMe page notes that she was a doctor from Nicaragua who was “abroad” when the “tragic accident occurred.” The fundraiser described her as an anesthesiologist who specialized in congenital heart disease, stating that her work brought hope and healing to countless children and families.
Her compassion, skill, and dedication to saving young lives defined both her career and her character. Sanchez was also a mother to two children who continue to live in Nicaragua and were the center of her life.
A local resident, Margarita Puig, told CBS Miami, “I got to be honest with you, I’m totally devastated.” She added, “I can’t believe in the Dollar Tree you’d find a dead body.” Dollar Tree has not yet responded to The Post’s request for a statement.
