He was positioned between the panel and the door when the panel, which was placarded "top heavy," fell on him. There were no eyewitnesses. The forklift truck was parked several feet from the shipment. Employee #1 suffered crushing injuries to his entire body including his face, internal organs, vertebrae, appendix, liver, intestines and broken legs and ribs. Surgeons operated on his liver and intestines, but Employee #1 died several days later due to blood clots.
