Investigation Summary
On November 15, 1999, Employee #1 was installing sewer lines for a wastewater project within a trench. As he was working, the walls of the trench gave way and the trench collapsed upon him. He was killed via asphyxiation from the weight of excavated material applied on his body inhibiting aspiration and lack of air to maintain respiration.
