Police in Branford, CT say they are no longer investigating an incident where a Comcast employee was found unconscious with his throat slashed inside the fenced-off parking lot of a service center. Apparently, the knife-wound was simply a workplace accident.

The man was found with a life-threatening wound to his neck and was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery, says the local NBC affiliate.

“At this point we have terminated our criminal investigation into this incident.” said Det. Lt. William Carroll, to reporters “All of the information and evidence we have collected and analyzed indicates that the incident was an accident that occurred at his place of employment.”

Well. That’s unsettling. Good to hear he made it.
