52 Pa.Commw. 567 (1980)

Rita Matakonis, Widow of Leonard Matakonis, Petitioner v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board and Interstate Motor Freight, Respondents.

Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania.

July 7, 1980.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lester Krasno, for petitioner.

Joseph A. Lach, Lenahan, Dempsey & Piazza, for Interstate Motor Freight, respondent.

Argued March 13, 1980, before President Judge CRUMLISH and Judges ROGERS and CRAIG, sitting as a panel of three.

OPINION BY PRESIDENT JUDGE CRUMLISH, July 7, 1980:

The Pennsylvania Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board affirmed the referee's dismissal of a widow's fatal claim petition for compensation on the ground that her husband's death, while employed as a dispatcher for Interstate Motor Freight, was a natural progression of chronic, degenerative heart disease, complicated by an acute myocardial infarction, and quite unrelated to work activities or conditions.
