Matter Claim Lulu Burris v. William P. Lewis Et Al‪.‬

[2 N.Y.2d 323 Page 325] Claimant's son worked for appellant employer a total of five nonconsecutive days in May, 1952. He was engaged in assembling
wooden frames to serve as moulds for a concrete cellar wall to be poured in the construction of a house. At 4:30 in the afternoon
of May 22d, while placing or being about to place some tools or other articles on a truck, he collapsed and died from heart
failure. His mother has been granted an annuity upon the theory that he died as the result of an industrial accident. One
of the members of the Workmen's Compensation Board dissented, stating that "There was nothing 'catastrophic or extraordinary'
arising out of his employment", and that "Decedent's work had not subjected him to unusual strain and exertion."
