Abstract: At approximately 8:30 a.m. on April 14, 1992, Employee #1 and his partner were carrying an approximately 40 ft long single #9 rebar. Arriving at their destination, Employee #1 dropped his end down before lining it up with other rebars. His partner's reaction was, "Why did you drop the rebar so soon?" Employee #1 said, "Why, what are you going to do about it?" and smiled. His partner alleges that he tapped Employee #1 on the face and turned around and walked away. Employee #1 then back paddled and fell backward. No one heard him scream, yell, or fall. A coworker saw Employee #1 lying on his back on the ground. He was shaking and drooling. The coworker called for help. Employee #1 was taken by ambulance to St. Francis Hospital, where he died.
