Tragically, that's exactly what happened.
His colleagues immediately alerted management and urgently requested an ambulance be called.
But instead of prioritizing his life, Amazon's warehouse leadership seemed far more concerned with building security protocols than the man dying right in front of them.
Before anything else, everyone present was required to hand over personal information, including their social security numbers and birth dates.
Meanwhile, absolutely nothing was being done to help Becker.
Defibrillator boxes were mounted throughout the facility, devices that could have genuinely saved his life, if they'd actually contained working equipment.
Instead, they were completely empty.
Pure decoration, apparently installed just to superficially satisfy safety regulations.
As a result, no one could locate an actual defibrillator anywhere in the building.
It took a full 25 minutes just to notify emergency medical services, and once paramedics finally arrived, warehouse management refused to let them enter through the nearby loading dock, which would have provided direct access to Becker.
Instead, the emergency team was forced to go through a full security check at the main entrance, then escorted along a designated internal route through the warehouse, wasting another critical 7 minutes.
By the time paramedics finally reached him, Becker had already stopped breathing entirely.
And tragically, his death wasn't an isolated case.
Two years later, another Amazon employee suffered a heart attack, and once again, coworkers were forced to watch him lie there for 20 minutes before help was finally summoned.
Between November 2018 and November 2019 alone, six separate deaths were recorded across Amazon warehouses.
In every single case, the company denied any responsibility whatsoever.
There's been only one instance where Amazon was actually found legally liable.
That occurred in 2017, when warehouse employee Phillip Lee Terry, based in Indiana, was fatally crushed by a forklift.
Terry had previously worked as a sales representative and had zero prior experience operating heavy machinery.
Almost immediately after being hired at Amazon, he was assigned responsibility for operating and maintaining forklifts on-site.
His training consisted of a brief, informal walkthrough from a coworker, with no written materials or formal instruction provided.
As a result, he simply wasn't aware of proper safety procedures for forklift operation.
While attempting a repair, he was crushed beneath a 500 kilogram metal plate.
In an expedited legal proceeding, the court found Amazon guilty.
Judges fined the company $28,000, a figure that year Amazon reported profits of $72.4 billion.
Following the ruling, Amazon reached out directly to Indiana's governor, Eric Holcomb.
Hoping that maintaining a good relationship with Amazon might encourage the company to build its next distribution center in the state, bringing valuable tax revenue with it, the governor ultimately intervened and had the fine waived entirely.
