OLSZEWSKI, Judge,
concurring:
While I agree with the result reached in this case, I voice my concern as to the test applied by the majority to determine when the statute of limitations began to run in appellants’ wrongful death action. The majority finds control*47ling the three-prong test expressed in Volpe v. Johns-Manville Corp., 323 Pa.Super. 130, 470 A.2d 164 (1983). I would apply instead the less-complicated two-part test most recently enunciated in Cathcart v. Keene Industrial Insulation, 324 Pa.Super. 123, 471 A.2d 493 (1984). Indeed, the en banc decision in Cathcart was published after Volpe. It is therefore our most recent pronouncement on this controversial issue.
