Although there were no witnesses, evidence indicated that the top of the ladder slid to the right, scraping the building. This caused the ladder and employee to fall to the right, toward the front of the house, landing on the concrete. The employee sustained blunt force trauma to the head, resulting in cardiac arrest and death.
