On April 6, 2006, Employee #1 was removing metal pipe from a crawl space underneath a house. A coworker, who was stationed in the backyard outside the crawl space, said that he had not heard from Employee #1 in a while. Another person employed by the homeowner went to the opening of the crawl space and called to Employee #1, but received no response. He then entered the crawl space and observed Employee #1 lying face down on an electric light that was used to illuminate the crawl space. When he tried to shake Employee #1, he received an electric shock. He shouted for the homeowner to unplug the light, and he then pulled Employee #1 out of the crawl space. Emergency Services responded and tried to revive Employee #1. Employee #1 was killed.
