Results from the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s office examination show the worker, Dana Gorham, died of natural causes about 8 Monday morning while working at the port’s APM Terminal. That report said the 57-year-old Gorham had an enlarged heart and died of heart disease.
Earlier this month, a 46-year-old crane mechanic, Jeff Surber of Bonney Lake, died atop a crane he was maintaining at Pierce County Terminal. The medical examiner’s report said Surber died of blunt force trauma to the head.
