Employee dies of hypoglycemia that caused fall from ladder

On July 10, 2004, Employee #1, an electrician, was using a stepstool to access a de-energized fluorescent light fixture on an 8 ft high ceiling when he fell approximately 4 ft to the floor. He sat up and said, "I'm OK," before he then lost consciousness and began to have trouble breathing. Coworkers administered CPR until the paramedics arrived. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, but he never regained consciousness and he died an hour later. The Medical Examiner's report stated that Employee #1's dseath was the result of a hypoglycemic episode, which led him to fall and to then have a seizure.
