Investigation Summary
On May 1, 2012, Employee #1, with Paul Graham Drilling and Service Company, was having difficulty breathing and had chest pains after welding in a confined space. The supervisor told Employee #1 that he should see a doctor. On May 15, 2012, Employee #1 saw a doctor for his condition. Employee #1 had various follow-up medical exams due to his medical condition. On July 12, 2012, Employee #1's doctor was contacted by a pulmonologist from the place where Employee #1 was vacationing abroad with his family. While vacationing, Employee #1's condition worsened. Employee #1 had difficulty breathing and was hospitalized. Employee #1 was then transported back to the US (via Medevac) for better treatment but was unable to recover and succumbed to his illness. Several medical specialists (cardiologist, thoracic surgeon, pulmonologist, and other MDs) involved in review of this death determined that this death was not caused by occupational exposure.
