Description
Mrs. Grady Waters filed a claim for compensation against Oconee Textile Mills Inc., where the deceased, the claimant's husband, was employed, and its carrier. On May 11, 1951, at about 7 a.m., he reported to work and was given the job of brushing lint from the head ends and foot ends of spinning frames with a broom from which most of the handle had been cut and which weighed from two to four pounds. The deceased had been performing this duty from five to fifteen minutes when he became dizzy and fainted. He was removed from the building in an unconscious state and while awaiting an ambulance he was perspiring and breathing heavily. He was removed to a hospital where he was attended by Drs. James A. Green and Tony Gallis. These doctors treated the deceased at the hospital until his death on May 18, 1951. Their diagnosis of the cause of the deceased's death was subarachnoid or cerebral hemorrhage. At the hearing Dr. Henry Holliday testified: that exertion or anything that might raise blood pressure where there is a weakened vessel might precipitate the rupture of the vessel; that he did not treat the deceased and had not seen his medical record; that a cerebral hemorrhage might result from an injury, exertion or from some pathological condition; that he could not say what caused the deceased's hemorrhage.
