W. C. A. B., ET AL. v. SULLIVAN

No. 1449 C.D. 1974.

22 Pa.Commw. 386 (1975)

Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board of The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Cleveland Wrecking Company v. Jean R. Sullivan, Widow of Lawrence Sullivan, Appellant.

Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania.

December 17, 1975.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Arnold Machles, for appellant.

John G. Jenemann, with him Joseph R. Thompson, and James N. Diefenderfer, for appellees.

Argued October 10, 1975, before Judges CRUMLISH, JR., KRAMER and WILKINSON, JR., sitting as a panel of three.


OPINION BY JUDGE KRAMER, December 17, 1975:

This is an appeal by Jean R. Sullivan from an order of the Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board, dated October 17, 1974, which affirmed a referee's denial of benefits to Sullivan. The only issue is whether the referee's finding that appellant's husband, Lawrence Sullivan, intentionally killed himself was reached through a capricious disregard of competent evidence. We conclude that it was not and affirm the Board.
