No autopsy, may be unrelated to the oil, but given that the guy was only in his 40s, raises some questions:
BP worker found dead of natural causes (http://www.nwfdailynews.com/articles/causes-30470-dead-destin.html)
June 28, 2010 9:52 PM
DESTIN — A BP cleanup worker was found dead in his Village Inn room Sunday afternoon.
The 48-year-old man’s identity has not been released.
“There are no signs of foul play,†said Michele Nicholson, spokeswoman for the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office. “I don’t think there was anything suspicious about it.â€
A spokeswoman at Mobile’s Unified Command said the death was not related to the oil cleanup. The Port St. Lucie man had a heart attack. He was discovered at 4:05 p.m. by a coworker after he did not show up to work. He was contracted through the Parsons Corporation.
The death marks the third reported death of a person involved in the response.
Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the National Incident Commander for the Deepwater BP Oil Spill response, reported two deaths on June 23.
One person was involved in a swimming accident at a hotel pool; the second was a Vessel of Opportunity operator in Gulf Shores, Ala. who shot himself in the head after a BP training meeting.
hell of a training meeting that must have been.
