Ingalls Shipbuilding Corp. v. Howell, supra. III. Since the appellee's fall was caused by personal illness, not related to his employment, the injuries sustained thereby, if any, are not compensable.

Travis Moore, Jackson, for appellee.

( Matter of Mausert v. Albany Builders Supply Co., 250 N.Y. 21.) An award could have been made if it had been determined that he fell while walking on the platform. ( Matter of Bauer v. City of New York, 252 App. Div. 802.) A letter signed by a majority of the Industrial Board cites Matter of Hoffman v. New York Central R.R. Co. ( 264 App. Div. 472) as the authority for the decision. That case has now been reversed by the Court of Appeals. ( 290 N.Y. 277.) Under these conditions, the decision should be reversed and the matter remitted to the Industrial Board for further consideration, and for the taking of further proof if they are so advised.

Falls are frequently held to be accidents within the meaning of workmen's compensation acts. 71 C.J. 628, § 378. The principal case upon which counsel rely in connection with this point is Hoffman v. New York Central R. R. Co., 36 N.Y.Supp.2d 462, 264 App. Div. 472, but the judgment therein was reversed by the Court of Appeals, 290 N.Y. 277, 49 N.E.2d 136. We think the trial court was in error in vacating the order awarding compensation, and entering its order directing the commission to deny the claim.
