Employee dies of heat related illness while landscaping

Investigation abstract

At 3:30 p.m. on July 14, 2021, an employee was working as a ground hand performing moderately strenuous work when he stopped and said he was hot and went to get a drink. The employee was drinking an excessive amount, so coworkers had him sit down and attempted to cool him off. The employee became incoherent and stopped breathing. Two coworkers attempted CPR while another coworker called 911. EMS arrived and began attending to the employee, but he later died of heat related illness.
