Dead body found at Apple's Infinite Loop headquarters [ux3]
An investigation is underway after a body was reportedly discovered at Apple's Infinite Loop corporate headquarters in Cupertino.
Update: A recording of the initial dispatch call is said to point at a possible suicide in a conference room, TMZ notes:
Update 2: The sheriff's office has indicated that a man who worked at Apple was found dead. There are not believed to be any other casualties.
The incident was first reported by NBC Bay Area. The investigation is being run by the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.
A crew from the Santa Clara County Fire Department -- which includes emergency medical services -- was reportedly dispatched to the campus, but were "waved off." It's not clear who made that call.
Apple has more than 10,000 employees in Cupertino, though most work in satellite offices outside of Infinite Loop.
Update 3: Apple has issued an official statement on the matter to BuzzFeed News.
"We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of a young and talented coworker," said Apple spokesperson Kristin Hugue. "Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends, including the many people he worked with here at Apple. We are working to support them however we can in this difficult time."
Update: A recording of the initial dispatch call is said to point at a possible suicide in a conference room, TMZ notes:
According to the sheriff's dispatch call there was a female employee involved in an argument on the campus -- and she was being escorted out by security when she sustained a head wound ... possibly from a gunshot.
As deputies were responded, they were unclear if there were multiple people involved. One portion of the dispatch exchange describes a body being found in a conference room, and that person had a gun.

RIP whoever is this person.
"Work at Apple is so hostile people are dying"
Why would the emergency services be waved off? That sounds a bit odd.
RIP.
Right away with the conspiracy theory crap. How about waiting awhile to read something official?

Starting to sound like a suicide or murder between several people who may have been involved there.
I'm sure this will be awesome news on top of the stock getting kicked in the teeth.

Noooooo. They never would have left the body at the HQ.
