Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David Hill Keller, of Haynsworth, Marion, McKay & Guerard, Greenville, for appellants.

HEARN, Judge:

The children of Joseph Hicks, Sr. brought this workers' compensation action against Piedmont Cold Storage, Inc. following their father's death. The single commissioner, affirmed by the full commission, found Hicks' death was not compensable. The circuit court reversed, holding the commission's decision was against the substantial weight of the evidence and ordering Piedmont to pay death and funeral benefits to Hicks' family. We affirm.
