  • Trulieve Holyoke cultivation death raises questions
    How dangerous is a large indoor cannabis cultivation grow? After a Trulieve worker's death, we hear from the stepdad of Lorna McMurrey who passed in January. Lorna L. McMurrey, 27, died Friday unexpectedly in Baystate Medical Center surrounded by her loving family. Lorna was born in Springfield, graduated from Westfield High School in 2013, and has lived in West Springfield most of her life. She recently started working at Trulieve’s Grow Facility in Holyoke.
    One of her former co-workers posted this about Lorna's death.
    "Lorna McMurrey tragically passed away while processing keif in Trulieve’s Holyoke, MA manufacturing facility. I had quit about a month prior to her passing due to the horrific management and corruption that I witnessed daily as a supervisor within the facility.
    I wish that I had been there to save her.
    Please look out for your people.
    Please educate yourselves."
