Farmhand perishes during agricultural labor in Alcarràs, Lleida, amidst intense heatwave conditions
A tragic incident has unfolded in the agricultural town of Alcarràs, Lleida, where a day laborer lost his life on Monday afternoon. The exact cause of death for the worker, who was working outdoors during a heatwave with temperatures exceeding 40°C, remains unknown as authorities await the autopsy results.
According to the Alcarràs Town Hall, they have been keeping informed about the progress of the investigation. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel arrived at the scene near Vallmanya road, but despite their best efforts, they were unable to revive the worker.
The investigation is currently focused on determining the cause of the worker’s death and any contributing factors. If the autopsy confirms that the death was due to heatstroke, it would be classified as a work-related accident. This is a plausible scenario given that the incident occurred during the peak of the heatwave.
In addition to determining the cause of death, the investigation is also examining if the worker had any previous pathologies that may have contributed to his demise. This information could potentially affect the classification of the death as a work-related accident.
The Mossos d'Esquadra, the Catalan police force, is leading the investigation into the worker's death. They were informed of the incident by the Alcarràs Town Hall and have been working diligently to uncover the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
As the investigation continues, the community of Alcarràs stands in mourning, hoping for answers and closure in this unfortunate incident.
