Lawsuit reveals construction worker's heatstroke misdiagnosed as drug use

A construction worker in Texas, Gabriel Infante, who was initially accused of being on drugs before his death, actually died of heatstroke while working in the sun in June 2022, according to a lawsuit filed by his mother. The lawsuit alleges that the construction company, B Comm Constructors LLC, neglected to protect Infante from the known hazards associated with extreme heat conditions. Infante showed signs of heat stress, including confusion and loss of consciousness, before succumbing to heatstroke. The lawsuit accuses the company of gross negligence for instructing employees to work in the heat without proper measures in place.
