Investigation Summary
On May 24, 2006, Employee #1 was driving a maintenance truck from Building 604, the power plant, to Building 667 at the West Point Military Academy. Employee #1 lost control of the vehicle while driving east on Cullum Road, near Trophy Point. He continued across the lawn for several hundred yards, striking a road sign and an ornamental cannon. The vehicle finally crashed into a tree just north of the Battle Monument, where Employee #1 was found dead a short time later. It is not thought that Employee #1 sustained any life-threatening injuries as a result of the crash. Instead, the cause of death was determined to be a heart attack sustained by Employee #1 as he drove. No evidence was found to indicate the heart attack was work-related.
