Abstract: Employee #1 was working in an area known to have low-overhead clearance. Employee #1 stated to coworkers that he had bumped his head while working in this area, but continued to work and did not seek medical attention. Employee #1 began complaining of a headache and aching neck over a period of a few days. A few days after the accident, Employee #1 sought medical attention. Employee #1 lapsed into a coma en route to the hospital and never regained consciousness. The cause of death was ruled a "cerebrovascular accident". The employer's policy was that all employees wear hardhats at the facility where the accident took place. The victim was seen wearing his hard hat prior to the accident.
