In the Matter of the Claim of Rose Sansbuary, Respondent, against Your Baking Co., Inc., et al., Appellants. Workmen’s Compensation Board, Respondent.
   Appeal by employer and insurance carrier from an award of death benefits. The employer is a wholesale baking company. The employee, while inside an oven, cleaning it, slipped or twisted and a grate fell, hitting him on the head, causing him to become unconscious, and resulting in the aggravation and acceleration of an unknown pre-existing endocarditis, causing his death the same day. There is sufficient evidence to sustain the finding of causal relation. Award affirmed, with costs to the Workmen’s Compensation Board. All concur.
