Investigation Summary
On March 14, 2007, Employee #1 was working as an interior carpenter for a carpentry or framing contractor. He was moving between apartment units at a site, unaware that fall protection had been removed from the work area. He stepped off a second-floor landing and fell, fracturing both ankles. Three weeks later, he died. An autopsy was conducted, and the medical examiner determined the cause of death to be multiple pulmonary embolisms caused by the injuries Employee #1 sustained in the fall.
