Summary
In Rogers, the claimant, who was a supervisor of a dredging project, suffered a fatal heart attack after spending most of the evening in a motel bar, engaging in horseplay, as well as fulfilling his duties as project superintendent to his men who congregated there. Because the events of the evening were found to be a material contributing cause of the heart attack, and because those events were work related, the court held claimant's death compensable.
