An Apple employee has been found dead inside a conference room in the company's headquarters at Cupertino, California. The Apple headquarters where the incident occurred can be found east of North De Anza Boulevard and south of Interstate Highway 280.
Santa Clara County officials responded to a call about the tragic incident around 8:30 a.m., KTVU reports. Investigators stated that there are currently no suspects in connection with the Apple employee found dead. They also assured the public that this is an isolated incident and that is not a threat to anyone on Apple's campus and headquarters.
TMZ reports that the Apple employee might have committed suicide based on the dispatch call from the police. A spokesperson for the Santa Clara County sheriff told TMZ that the Apple employee found dead was a Hispanic male. The cops also described that the dead body found in a conference room at the Apple headquarters had a gun.
Apple seems to be involved in a lot of negative and controversial headlines lately. Aside from the Apple employee found dead in the company's headquarters, Apple also dropped in its quarterly revenue for the first time in more than 10 years, BBC News reports.
"The company is battling perceptions that its latest iPhones aren't dramatically different from previous models, as overall smartphone sales are slowing around the world," KUTV shares. Apple's stock went down by more than 7 percent overnight which has crushed its value by more than $40 billion, according to TMZ. This recent news about the Apple employee found dead in the company's headquarters might make things even worse for Apple's stock.
