Description
[2 A.D.2d 387 Page 388] The employer and carrier first challenge the finding of accident and causal relation. Decedent was employed as a "piece
goods man" by a manufacturer of men's clothing, and his duties required him to handle bolts and cloth weighing up to a maximum
of 250 pounds. He was 38 years of age and, up to the time of the alleged accident, had been asymptomatic. On May 11, 1951,
while decedent was handling a bolt of cloth, a co-worker saw him suddenly grab his stomach and heard him say: "I got a hurt
here in my stomach." Within an hour thereafter decedent went to a doctor and gave a history that a bolt of cloth fell and
struck him in the right side. The doctor found on examination that decedent had marked pain and tenderness of the right lower
and upper quadrant of the abdomen. About 48 hours later the doctor found an increase in intensity of the symptoms with a secondary
hematemesis, and ordered decedent to a hospital, where he died on May 21. The cause of death, according to the autopsy report,
was subacute nephrosis, central vein necrosis, uremia, and possible carbon tetrachloride poisoning.
