Investigation Summary
On June 18, 2004, Employee #1, a foreman, had climbed into the attic of a 25 ft by 40 ft shower building to finish installing ductwork when several coworkers outside heard snoring. One of coworkers climbed up and found Employee #1 dead from coronary thrombosis (a or blocked artery in his heart). The coworkers were moving down his body when Employee #1 fell approximately 9 ft 2 in. through the vinyl ceiling to the floor. Employee #1 had been trained in fall protection, but the coworkers had not and did not use it in the attic.
