Investigation Summary

On February 21, 2011, Employee #1, a contractor, was located at his home when he suffered a brain hemorrhage and died. He was scheduled to report to work earlier that morning and when he failed to show up, his employer initially tried to contact him by phone. When there was no answer, a manager went to his home. At approximately 10:45 a.m., Employee #1 was discovered dead in his apartment. An autopsy was performed by a medical examiner, determining that Employee #1 died from a slow cerebral hemorrhage that resulted from a blow to his head. The accident investigation revealed that two days prior to his death, Employee #1 had slipped on the employer's icy parking lot and struck his head. There had been a severe snowstorm with ice and sleet and the workers had been requested to move their cars to allow clearance in that area. Employee #1 refused medical attention, but experienced a terrible headache the next day. This resulted in him leaving work early.
