Coworkers attempted to lower his temperature by using wet towels, ice water, and fans, but with no evident results. Even after these cooling measures were applied, Employee #1's body temperature was 107.9 degrees F. An ambulance was called and he was taken to Mercy Medical Center. He was comatose when admitted, but after his temperature began to fall and emergency procedures were provided, he regained consciousness and became combative. Employee #1 recovered but his long-term prognosis is not known.
