Another employee of the New Iberia restaurant, located about 130 miles west of New Orleans, found the body inside the freezer at about 6:30 p.m. local time on Thursday night., authorities said.

“A situation like this is unusual, so we’re taking extra precautions during the investigation,” Laseter told the station. “[We] pretty much have completed our process at the crime scene. After completely processing the crime scene… this does not seem like a homicide, it seems like an accident.”

​The coroner’s office is currently working to confirm the woman’s identity and her cause of death, per KADN.

“We’re going to re-examine all the evidence … and they’re going to conduct an autopsy to give us the cause and manner of death. So there are a few more steps that we need to take before a [final] determination is made,” Laseter told KADN.

The investigation is ongoing, Laseter added.

A spokesperson for the New Iberia Police Department did not immediately return PEOPLE’s request for additional comment.
