HERMISTON, Ore. A man died in late June after working in the heat at a Walmart distribution center in Hermiston, according to family.
Family said Kenton Scott Krupp, 51, was either leaving work or taking a lunch break when he collapsed outside the distribution center on his way to his car. He had just begun working at the warehouse within the last month.
Krupp s family said they are waiting on a preliminary autopsy from the medical examiner s office to determine whether his death was heat-related. It could take several months for the death investigation to be complete.
