Opinion
No. 45328.
July 25, 1975.
Workmen's compensation — review — finding of causal relation between work and heart attack.
Certiorari upon the relation of the State of Minnesota, Department of Public Safety, a self-insured employer, to review a decision of the Workmen's Compensation Commission awarding benefits against said relator to Judith Cunningham, widow of James W. Cuningham, deceased employee. Affirmed.
Michael C. Jackman, for relator.
Murphy, Lano, Kalar Murphy and Neal A. Lano, for respondent.
Considered and decided by the court without oral argument.
The employer seeks review of a decision of the Workmen's Compensation Commission awarding benefits to respondent, widow of the deceased employee. Employer challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the commission's finding that the employment was causally related to the employee's fatal heart attack.
Because we find that the determinative finding that employee's death was causally related to his employment is supported by substantial evidence in view of the entire record as submitted, we affirm.
Attorneys fees in the amount of $350 are allowed respondent on this appeal.
Affirmed.
