Opinion
September 28, 1949.
Appeal from Workmen's Compensation Board.
While in the course of his employment of cutting out wooden wedges by the operation of a power buzz saw, decedent collapsed. The undisputed medical proofs are that his death was due to a coronary occlusion. The findings as to any causal connection between any accidental injury which arose out of and in the course of the employment and the cause of death are without evidentiary support. Decision and award reversed, on the law, and claim dismissed, with costs to appellants against the Workmen's Compensation Board. Brewster, Santry and Bergan, JJ., concur; Foster, P.J., concurs for reversal but not for a dismissal of the claim. I think in the interests of justice the claim should be remitted to the Workmen's Compensation Board for additional proof; Heffernan, J., dissents, and votes to affirm.
