Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:56 a.m. on August 13, 2013, Employee #1 and a coworker were cleaning loose vines from the conveyor chains of a tomato harvester. The parked harvester was at the end of the field for servicing between shifts, and the outside temperature was about 67 degrees Fahrenheit. The employees were working within about 10 feet of each other and facing away. The machine was on level ground with the engine off at the time. The coworker stated that he and Employee #1 had been carrying on a conversation. During a pause, he heard a thud and next saw Employee #1 lying on the ground and not moving. The employer summoned the county sheriff's department, which provided assistance. Employee #1 was found collapsed and dead.
