HERLIHY, J.

The deceased employee sustained a compensable injury to his right ankle (achilles tendon) on June 19, 1974. The board thereafter indexed the claim but the employee died on August 31, 1974 before an award had been made. Following the death, the claimant widow filed for death benefits on October 10, 1974. It is undisputed that the death was caused by the compensable injury of June 19, 1974.
