New details emerge in Trulieve factory death

This week we learned of the tragic death of Trulieve factory worker Lorna McMurrey. McMurrey, 27, who worked at a factory in Holyoke, Mass., suffered a fatal respiratory attack in January after inhaling cannabis dust during her shift.

  • A co-worker of McMurrey’s who was at the factory the night she died, told WeedWeek that an understaffed security team, and confusion over emergency protocols, delayed the rescue effort. 

Trulieve released a statement but said it would not comment on the circumstances of her death.

Additional update:

  • Neither Trulieve nor Massachusetts’ regulator, the Cannabis Control Commission, would comment on whether regulators were aware of McMurrey’s death before it gained attention on social media in late September.
