Investigation Summary
On July 10, 2009, Employee #1 was part of a crew that was installing a sign on the fascia of a store. Employee #1 was on catwalk on the interior of the fascia catwalk. Employee #1 was making the connection from the sign to the breaker panel. A coworker yelled to Employee #1 that he was entering the work area, but there was no response. The coworker found Employee #1 slumped over with his head down and unresponsive. When the coworker reached to move Employee #1 to administer aid, he received a mild shock. The coworker did not try to administer CPR because he feared risking his own life. Paramedics arrived on the scene and pronounced Employee #1 dead.
