Description

CULLEN, Commissioner. Bascomb Porter, a long-time employee of Inland Steel Company in its coal mines, died of a coronary thrombosis. His widow, Lilly, sought workmen's compensation death benefits on the theory that the death was attributable to cor pulmonale which had developed from silicosis contracted by Bascomb during his employment. The Workmen's Compensation Board was not convinced by the evidence that there was a causal relationship between the heart condition and the presence of silicosis, and the board therefore entered an order denying the claim. On appeal to the circuit court the order was affirmed, and the matter now is before us on appeal from the circuit court.
