ATLANTA (AP) — A kitchen worker died after she was apparently trapped inside of a walk-in freezer for about 13 hours at a downtown Atlanta hotel, police said Tuesday. 
 
 A search for the woman began when she didn't return home after her shift at the Westin Peachtree Plaza, one of the city's most recognizable skyscrapers with its cylindrical shape. Investigators reviewed hotel surveillance video, and they believe she may have entered the freezer about 8 p.m. Monday. She was found shortly after 9 a.m. Tuesday, Atlanta police Lt. Charles Hampton said. 
 
 There was evidence the woman tried to get out of the freezer, but Hampton didn't elaborate on what led investigators to believe that. Her name wasn't released. 
 
 "It appears that there was some type of mechanism to allow anyone who was inside to be able to exit," Hampton said. He wasn't sure if it was working properly. 
 
 "Right now there does not appear to be any foul play," Hampton said. 
 
 Police have notified the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the death. The agency didn't have any immediate comment. 
 
 The hotel said in a statement it was devastated by the tragic loss of its long-time worker. 
 
 "We are working closely with the authorities in their investigation, and we are providing whatever support that we can for her family," the statement said. 
 
 Police plan to wait for an autopsy to determine whether the woman had any type of medical condition that may have prevented her from getting out, Hampton said. ||||| Updated: Mar 22, 2016 - 7:06 PM 
 
 ATLANTA - Channel 2 Action News has learned a woman was found dead inside a walk-in freezer at a popular downtown hotel. 
 
 Atlanta Police Lt. Charles Hampton said the kitchen worker was found Tuesday morning inside the freezer at the Westin Peachtree Plaza, one of the city's largest and most recognizable hotels with its cylindrical shape. 
 
 The victim was identified as 61-year-old Carolyn Robinson. 
 
 "She was a nice person. She got along with everybody. Everybody loved her," said Robinson's co-worker, Cecelia Edwards. 
 
 Hampton said a search for Robinson began when she didn't return home after her shift. 
 
 Hampton said investigators reviewed hotel surveillance video, and they believe she may have entered the freezer shortly after 8 p.m. Monday. 
 
 Hampton said there was evidence Robinson tried to get out, but he didn't elaborate. He said he wasn't sure whether a mechanism to get out of the freezer was in working order, adding that the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration will investigate.

 Channel 2's Liz Artz learned the Westin was last inspected in 2007. 
 
 OSHA officials said there was not a citation issued at that time. OSHA has six months to complete its investigation. 
 
 Edwards, who worked with Robinson for 14 years, said the incident has stunned employees. 
 
 "I can't talk about anything like that," Edwards said. "She's a friendly lady. She talks to everybody. Everybody knows her and everybody loves her." 
 
 The Westin Peachtree Plaza Atlanta released the following statement Tuesday: 
 
 "We are devastated by the tragic loss of our long-time associate and member of our Westin family. We are working closely with the authorities in their investigation, and we are providing whatever support that we can for her family. As this is an active police investigation, we are unable to provide further information at this time. Any inquiries should be directed to the Atlanta Police Department." 
 
 The medical examiner said it could be several weeks before an exact cause of death is determined.

– A 61-year-old woman appears to have died after getting stuck inside a walk-in freezer at the Westin Peachtree Plaza hotel in downtown Atlanta, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Carolyn Robinson's family contacted police when she didn't return home from her shift on Monday. Police, reviewing surveillance footage, believe the kitchen worker entered the freezer around 8pm Monday, according to the AP. Her body wasn't found until 9am Tuesday—13 hours later. "She was a nice person," a coworker tells WSB-TV. "She got along with everybody. Everybody loved her." There is a mechanism inside the freezer that allows people to get out, though police aren't sure if it was working. Authorities hope an autopsy will reveal if Robinson had a medical condition that would have prevented her from getting out of the freezer. Unspecified evidence inside the freezer shows Robinson did try to escape. Police don't suspect foul play at the moment. “We’re still combing through the video just to make sure that there’s nothing else going on,” the Journal-Constitution quotes a police spokesperson.
