Additionally, authorities in Gatesville said that an autopsy to determine the cause of the death of H-E-B employee Mario Lee, whose body was found Monday night in the store’s parking lot, can proceed after tests showed Lee did not have the new coronavirus.
The body couldn’t be sent to Dallas for the autopsy until completion of a COVID-19 protocol.
Justice of the Peace Coy Latham said he’ll likely be notified of the preliminary autopsy results on Friday.
Gatesville police found Lee lying in the store parking lot at around 9 p.m. Monday.
Latham pronounced Lee dead and ordered the autopsy.
He said there was no indication of foul play discovered at the scene but he ordered the postmortem exam “out of a measure of caution,” Latham said.
