An attorney representing the sisters of a temporary worker trampled to death when thousands of customers stormed into a Wal-Mart store for bargains the day after Thanksgiving says the man had no training in crowd control.Attorney Jordan Hecht says 6-5, 270-pound Jdimytai Damour had only been working at the Valley Stream Wal-Mart about a week when he was knocked down by frenzied shoppers.
Nassau County Police Commissioner Lawrence Mulvey said an autopsy found Damour died of asphyxiation related to his trampling.
At a news conference Monday, Mulvey also said a preliminary investigation shows Wal-Mart failed to provide adequate security outside its store, where about 2,000 shoppers were waiting for the doors to open at 5 a.m. Friday.
Police are reviewing video surveillance of the scene to determine possible criminal charges.
