Here it is, what a lot of us were dreading when Texas banned water breaks beginning September for construction workers. A 24 year old succumbed to the heat and his mom is suing the company. This is a precursor to what can happen when the law goes into effect.

A 24-year-old died laying cable in the Texas heat. His mom is suing.

Quote:
When the ambulance picked up 24-year-old Gabriel Infante, his internal body temperature was nearly 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

It was heat stroke, and emergency responders rushed him to the hospital. Infante had been at work, laying fiber optic cables on a 101-degree day in San Antonio, when he’d started acting confused and dizzy. He’d fallen twice, and his best friend had started pouring water over him, trying to cool him off.
