HENDERSON, Justice
(concurring).
I have no quarrel with the authorities cited in this case nor with this Court’s scope of review on the evidence presented herein. Therefore, I can fully concur as Deuschle did not meet his burden of proof *8on establishing a causal connection. However, I write only to say that I fervently disagree with this Court’s decision in Lawler v. Windmill Restaurant, 435 N.W.2d 708, 711 (S.D.1989) (Henderson, J. dissenting), for the reason that there were errors of law in the review of deposition testimony and I truly believe that the assessment of the evidence was wrong and “clearly erroneous”. Fundamentally, we must review these cases, concerning heart attacks which happen during employment, on each set of facts presented to us by the record.
