GEORGIA CASUALTY & SURETY COMPANY et al. v. MILLS.

Opinion:
Eberhardt, Judge.
Where the medical evidence was conflicting as to whether a moderate brain concussion received when the employee fell from a truck aggravated a pre-existing cancerous condition in the lower intestines and hastened his demise, and the compensation board made its findings that the concussion was an aggravating factor and awarded compensation to the widow, the award was properly affirmed by the superior court.
