Abstract: On July 17, 2006, Employee #1 and a coworker-partner were replacing a cable on a boat hoist at a private residence. They were in the water, working with hand tools, when they both sustained electric shocks. The coworker managed to get out and then saw Employee #1 going under the surface. Thinking the situation was safe, the coworker went back in to help his partner, only to receive more shocks. Employee #1 was killed; the coworker sustained shock injuries, including damage to his heart. He also suffered from multiple infections, including in his lungs.
