Just weird

General
The store I work at generally recieves shipments from the warehouse on Saturdays. However last week we got our shipment in a little early. I shadowed one of the managers on how to recieve the truck, something I'm rather familier with from my previous job. Well I got to meet the truck driver and everything like that, very nice guy. Anyway, we unloaded some that day, but most of the world would be done Saturday morning. So the next day we get there bright and early and work on all the freight. The truck was schedualed to leave our dock around 8am Saturday morning, but he didn't leave. We figured maybe he had new instructions or something, that happens sometimes. Well around noon another truck driver pulled up to the front of our store and asked us to move the truck at our dock. Now we were a little surprised the driver still hadn't moved. So we called his dispatch to find out what was going on. Turns out dispatch had been trying to contact the guy for something like 6 hours. So my managers get out there and bang on the door a while, and get no response. After another call to dispatch, they asked us to call the local police to get into the vehicle. So we get the police out there and they start talking to my managers about the situation. At this point my shift was over, but I found out the rest of the story the next day.
The police tried unlocking the door, but had no luck at that. So the next thing they did was to break into the truck. They got some hammer or something and broke out the glass. When they got inside, they found the driver, curled up on the floor, dead. They guessed the man died sometime Friday, which would mean that the last person to see him alive was me. The idea that someone died so close to the store is a little weird. Of course, the feeling of being the last person to see someone alive is also a little creepy as well. It was probably some sort of heart attack, or maybe a drug overdose, but I don't remember hearing anything about drugs being found in the vehicle. Who's to say though.
Weird stuff happens in retail. I gotta get out of it sooner or later. >.>
