Investigation Summary
At approximately 4:00 p.m. on July 31, 2002, Employee #1, his employer, and several coworkers were completing the installation of the second-story sub-floor on a two-story home under construction. Employee #1 was nailing the sub-floor when the employer noticed that he was missing the floor joist and behaving erratically. The employer sent him to lie down, so Employee #1 descended from the second story and lay down on a pile of plywood sheathing. The employer noticed that he was still acting erratically, so he abandoned his work and escorted Employee #1 into the garage, laid him down on a piece of plywood, placed ice on his neck and wrists, and called the rescue squad. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where he died at 10:20 a.m. on the following day of apparent hyperthermia. The temperature on the day he was stricken had been approximately 90 degrees F.
