Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201640042
Event: 08/15/2000
Death Due to Hypothermia in a Test Chamber

Early in the morning of August 15, 2000, an employee was found frozen to death at his workplace. The employee had reportedly entered a nitrogen chamber used to perform tests on automotive components. The chamber was being maintained at temperatures below -35 degrees Farenheit for the purpose of performing the tests. The medical examiner determined the cause of death to be hypothermia; however, the possibility of asphyxia or cardiac arrest due to nitrogen toxicity could not totally be excluded.
