Abstract: At approximately 11:35 a.m. on May 23, 2002, Employees #1 and #2 were diving in a lake to free an electrical cable that was stuck on the lake bottom. When Employee #2 did not see air bubbles from Employee #1, he retrieved Employee #1 from the lake bottom. Employee #1 drowned, with cardiomyopathy a contributing factor.
