I believe he died today. He was 60.
You know when I heard a worker died I envisioned their lack of sleep, hours of work, duress and isolation from family etc and thought of it as ‘overwork’. However, since then, I have read that this was his second day of work at the plant. He was slated to work 3 hours. He collapsed after helping another worker carry a saw (pipe saw maybe) down a flight of stairs. Also - when they are dressed in all their protective gear they are now struggling with heat exhaustion inside the layers - another worker was said to have become ill from heat exhaustion the prior day. So I suspect if this information is correct, that a combination of factors may have contributed to his death heat, stress, exertion, possible hidden ailment. His exposure was said to be quite low. Hope he did not suffer but went quickly - wouldn’t want to be a person collapsing in that environment not knowing WHY you are going down. Prayers up.
Rats! It took 2 hours for them to get the guy who collapsed to a hospital. The doctor is only on site 6 hours per day because of radiation exposure and this guy collapsed when the doctor was gone for the day - then a slow car drive in a company car to a staging area followed etc.
