MIAMI (WKRC) – A 71-year-old pastry chef was killed in an industrial accident at a kosher grocery store in North Miami Beach, authorities said.
Police identified the victim as Mordehay Grunberger, who died Jan. 16 at the South Florida Kosher Market, according to local reports from the Miami Herald and NBC Miami. Officers responded to multiple 911 calls reporting an accident involving an industrial dough mixer, per North Miami Beach police spokeswoman Maria Pinillos.
Authorities have not released the official cause of death or detailed circumstances surrounding the incident but said there were no signs of foul play.
Grunberger, a Miami resident, was independently employed as a head pastry chef. His wife, Inna Gastman Maor, shared her grief in a Facebook post, writing that she had lost her “closest person,” “best friend,” and the father of their two sons.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration was at the scene as part of the ongoing investigation.
