Somewhere between 12 and 1230, an EE asked EE to clean up the catwalk on the screen deck.  EE was performing EE's normal work at a normal pace. While other EE was tramming the excavator, they noticed EE in distress and responded. EE went into cardiac arrest, 911 was called, CPR started, but EE did not recover.
