Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:30 p.m. on March 24, 2011, Employee #1, a nursery worker, was at a distribution facility's loading dock. After Employee #1 left the dock to go to the restroom, his work crew left for the greenhouses to select product for the next work day. Employee #1's supervisor left word for him to join the crew as soon as possible. Upon his return to the dock, Employee #1 retrieved a bicycle to meet his crew. He apparently rode the bike off the dock and fell 4 ft. Employee #1 was found the next day dead of blunt force head trauma.
