She lost control of the cart and was thrown out of it. She injured her right wrist and sustained a pelvic fracture during this fall. The employee was treated at Huntington Beach Hospital. Surgery was performed on March 29, 2002 and she was hospitalized for several weeks. On April 17, 2002, she died in the hospital due to respiratory failure caused by self-extubation during ventilation for severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
