Kennesaw Whole Foods Employee Found Dead In Bathroom: Police

KENNESAW, GA — A recently hired employee of Whole Foods in Kennesaw was found dead in an employee bathroom, police said.

Leslie Kochensparger, 31, was found dead around 6:45 a.m. on Monday after another employee went to use the restroom but found the door was locked. He opened the door with a pocket knife and saw her "slumped over the toilet." He called 911 which said to put her on the ground, but he said she was cold to the touch and stiff, a police report said.

Kochensparger had only started working at the store, located at 1300 Barrett Parkway, two weeks prior. Police don't believe there is any foul play with her death.

“We are grieving the loss of our fellow team member and our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time," a spokesperson from Whole Foods told multiple media outlets.

The store was closed Monday for employees to grieve.
