Employee Dies of Natural Gas Inhalation or an Apparent Heart

On July 31, 2002, Employee #1 was sent to the site of a new subdivision in San Francisco after a natural gas line was accidentally ruptured by a landscaping company that was digging post holes for a brick fence. While looking for the gas leak, Employee #1 lay on the ground with his upper torso hanging into a 3 ft wide post hole. He apparently became overcome and was later found, unconscious, in that position. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where he died. His death was attributed to either inhalation of natural gas or a heart attack.
