Dwight Shrute, local beet farmer and sales consultant at Dunder Mifflin, was pronounced dead at his home last night. While out in his beet fields, this eccentric man was surprised by four large, black bears barreling towards him from the nearby woods. Moze, Dwight's employee, confirmed that Shrute managed to put up a fight. He drove all four of the bears away using some form of martial arts, leaving him covered in cuts, but not seriously injured. However, when Moze rushed over to his boss to help, he tripped and cut Shrute's jugular vein with the harvesting knife he was carrying.
Dwight's coworkers ar Dunder MIfflin are all in shock of his death. Jim Halpert, a fellow sales associate, is especially hit hard by Shrute's death. "Dwight and I were very good friends," he tells us. "The office is certainly going to miss his antics." Many of the other employees at Dunder Mifflin agree that the office will have less personality. Scranton will definitely miss Shrute and his character he added to our town.
