Georgia man's loved ones sue Sealy Mattress company after he died inside locked trailer at facility: lawsuit

The relatives of a man from Georgia have decided to take legal action against one of the biggest mattress manufacturers in the United States. This comes after the man was discovered deceased inside a trailer situated on the company’s premises.

Joshua Armour, who was 27 years old, went missing in October, prompting his family to launch a desperate search for him. Following his phone’s signal, they finally pinpointed his location to the Sealy Mattress Company’s site in Conyers, Georgia, as mentioned in the lawsuit.

The family notified a supervisor at the facility about Armor’s phone indicating his presence on the property. However, the employees were reportedly instructed to secure all trailers due to concerns regarding an unidentified individual on the premises, as detailed in the legal complaint. Additionally, the family claimed they were not permitted to conduct a search of the area and were asked to depart.

Armour’s body was found a week later locked inside a trailer at the Sealy Mattress facility. He was allegedly suffering from a mental health crisis when he wandered onto the property.

Tempur Sealy International expressed their condolences in a statement on Friday and stated they are investigating the incident.

“We have been conducting a thorough investigation to understand all the facts and circumstances surrounding this incident and have fully cooperated with local authorities,” the company said.

According to reports by The Associated Press, the company has a surveillance video of an unidentified person on the property, but the supervisor that night refused to let the family see it, making it impossible to confirm if it was Armour, said Mark Johnson, one of the family’s lawyers.

“We have reached out to Sealy by letter and asked for all video and haven’t received a response,” Johnson said. “Nothing.”

Armour’s family has requested a jury trial.
