Abstract: At 5:30 p.m. on June 30, 2015, an employee was working outside on a hot day in the oil patch. The employee was removing oil well piping and rods from an oil well. The employee was working at chocking the tubing/piping and went around to the front of the rig. Co-workers went on break and did not see the employee so they went to find him and found him lying on the ground, breathing with a pulse and eyes open but unresponsive. The co-workers called 911 and loaded up the employee into the truck and drove him to the emergency room, roughly 3 miles away. The employee died and the death was attributed to the heat outside which lead to a heat stroke.
