A death investigation is underway after the body of 32-year-old Helen Massiell Garay Sanchez was discovered in the freezer of a Dollar Tree store in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood. The woman’s mysterious death has left her family devastated and prompted a full investigation by local authorities.

Miami police responded to a call early Sunday morning from a Dollar Tree employee who reported finding Sanchez’s body inside the store’s freezer. According to CBS News Miami, the incident took place at a Dollar Tree location on Saturday night, when Sanchez entered the store before closing. Surveillance footage revealed that she did not make a purchase and instead walked toward the back storage room, where she was later found dead.

At this time, the cause of Sanchez’s death remains unclear. Miami police have not provided specific details, and the investigation is still ongoing. Authorities are reportedly speaking with Sanchez’s family to determine whether she had any underlying mental health issues that might have contributed to the tragic incident.

The family of the deceased has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for her repatriation to Nicaragua, where she will be laid to rest. The family describes Sanchez as a “devoted doctor and a beloved mother of two children,” emphasizing her dedication and love for her family. They aim to bring her body back to Nicaragua to honor her memory and fulfill her final wishes.

“Her strength, warmth, and unwavering love for her family will always be remembered,” Sanchez’s family wrote on the GoFundMe page. Donations will help cover the costs of repatriation, transportation, and funeral expenses.

Sanchez, originally from Nicaragua, was known to her family as a compassionate and dedicated physician who cared deeply for her community. The tragic circumstances surrounding her death have left her loved ones searching for answers while they cope with the loss of someone they held dear.

As the investigation continues, Miami police are reviewing evidence and speaking to witnesses to determine how Sanchez ended up in the freezer and what led to her untimely death.
