Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 200631885
Event: 06/13/2008
Employee Is Electrocuted and Is Killed

At approximately 2:00 p.m. on June 13, 2008, Employee #1, and two coworkers were installing a 6 ft by 7 ft wooden deck, outside of a former grocery store. The grocery store was being remolded to be a party supply store. One coworker was installing a 40 in. tall, and 2 in. by 4 in. board into the side of the metal building, using a battery operated drill with self tapping screws. The coworker contacted something on the other side of the wall that prevented the screw from going completely into the board. Employee #1 went inside the building to see what was preventing the screw from going through the wall. On the inside of the building there was a walk-in cooler that had been set in place, but that was not connected to a power source. The cooler was 20 in. away from the wall. The two coworkers were outside and heard Employee #1 fall to the ground. They went inside to see what had happened and saw the employee slumped down between the doorway, cooler, and back wall. The two coworkers pulled him out and laid him flat in front of the doorway. When the two coworkers pulled him out, they both felt an electric shock. One coworker began performing CPR while the other coworker ran and turned off the main electrical disconnect to the building. Local emergency medical services responded to the scene and the employee was taken to West Virginia University Hospital. Employee #1 was pronounced dead at the hospital, and his body was transported to West Virginia State Medical Examiner Office. The cause of death was determined to be due to electrocution.
