A coworker heard a loud noise, and when he turned around, he saw the plumber lying on the floor. He called for emergency medical technicians, and when they arrived, they began administering CPR. When paramedics arrived, they used a defibrillator. Paramedics took the employee to the Maria Parham Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.
