At about 2:15 p.m., a coworker was working approximately 30 feet away, heard Employee #1 called out to him. The coworker turned around to look and observed Employee #1 lying on the ground. At the same time, the site foreman, who was driving a water truck, also observed Employee #1 lying on the ground. The foreman summoned help and responded to Employee #1 while another coworker contacted 911. Employee #1 was breathing when a coworker got to him, then began laboring for air, then stopped breathing.
