An autopsy has confirmed that Jdimytai Damour, the Long Island Walmart worker who died in a Black Friday stampede of shoppers, was trampled to death.
Damour wasn't the only victim.
Alicia Sgro was among the crowd ouside, and says unruly shoppers fractured her wrist an hour before the doors were opened.
She called the police and says they responded, but quickly left.
Jennifer Jones was there as well and also claims police came and left.
Attorney Ken Mollins is among the first to file a lawsuit against Walmart and the Nassau Police in the wake of the trampling death.
"There was neglect the police should have called for back up and seen it was a dangerous situation," Mollins told reporters Monday.
Nassau police say when they were at the Walmart the crowd didn't appear unruly.
They blame Walmart for inadequate security.
Damour, a hulking 270 pound, 6-foot-5 seasonal worker was put at the door, police say, because of his size, but without proper training.
Police are still reviewing security video to see if anyone will be charged.
Nassau police say they will invite Walmart to a meeting in the next few weeks to come up with protocol to prevent the tragedy from happening again, and if the retailers don't cooperate, lawmakers say they will impose change through legislation.
