Investigation Summary
At sometime after 10:00 a.m. on May 12, 2009, Employee #1, a journeyman electrician who had worked for his current company for approximately 13 years, was working alone at a private residence. Employee #1 was standing on a dock, while removing boat lift motors, a task that he had previously performed. Apparently, the boat lift dropped unexpectedly, causing the motor assembly to rotate and the motor to separate from the assembly. The motor struck Employee #1 on the forehead, causing him to fall off the dock and into to the water. Employee #1's body was discovered several hours after he fell into the water. Employee #1 was not wearing any personal flotation devices, and his death was caused by drowning.
