Double tragedy: Safety supervisor dies rushing to heat-stroke victim
One of two men who died on the roof of a Perdue Farms chicken processing plant in Perry, Ga., suffered a heat stroke, while the other died of heart disease, reports the Associated Press, citing a coroner's office report.
A 48-year-old employee of Premium Roofing Services died of heat stroke while working on a re-roofing project for the plant. A 57-year-old safety supervisor for Perdue Farms died the same day of heart disease after he climbed on the roof and ran to the heat-stroke victim, who had collapsed.
