Investigation Summary
Between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. on April 1, 1992, Employee #1, a supervisor at the Waimanald irrigation system, was working near the Waimanald transmission ditch flume #26. Employee #1 caught his foot in an approximately 6 in. opening on top of flume #26. The flume was 12 in. wide by 9 in. deep (the length was not significant). There was a board approximately 6 in. wide and 1 in. thick secured to the side of the flume at the top. On one side of the flume was a mountain and the other side dropped approximately 10 ft to a stream. At 7:40 a.m. on April 2, coworkers found Employee #1 hanging upside down with his right foot caught in the flume. The autopsy report states that Employee #1 received bruises on his lower back and chest and died of positional asphyxia. Contributing causes were coronary atherosclerosis and old myocardial infarction.
