The guys were packing up to leave for the day. They noticed co-worker not responding to them. They asked if he was ok, no response. Then he passed out. They called 911. He was transported to Sparks Hospital in Ft Smith, AR. Doctors 1st thought it was heat exhaustion, but now think it might be a blood clot or minor heart attack.
