Employee falls when constructing home addition and dies

At 2:30 p.m. on March 18, 2013, Employee #1, a company official, and Coworker #1, an employee, both employed by a construction design and development company, were engaged in exterior carpentry at a residential building. They were using a ladder to gain access to an addition through a second floor window opening. According to the subsequent investigation report, Employee #1 apparently fell from the window opening or the ladder and struck his head, a fall height of 10 feet. Employee #1 may have had a heart attack immediately before his fall. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated, but he died during surgery.
