AMERICAN BAKERIES and Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, Appellants, v. Clifford D. WEIDNER, Appellee.
    No. AD-130.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    March 15, 1982.
    Donna L. Bergh, Walker, Buckmaster, Miller & Ketcham, Orlando, for appellants.
    James M. Hess, Driscoll, Langston, Lay-ton & Kane, Orlando, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

There being no showing of causal connection between claimant’s alleged misrepresentation on his employment application and his subsequent heart attack, the employer/carrier’s Martin Company v. Carpenter, 132 So.2d 400 (Fla.1961) defense must fail. The order of the deputy commissioner finding that claimant suffered a compensa-ble heart attack is affirmed.

ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., C. J., LARRY G. SMITH and WIGGINTON, JJ., concur.
