Argued November 28, 1928. The record before us, which contains evidence that claimant had a heat stroke during the course of her employment with defendant, includes expert medical testimony that she was paralyzed as the result of a cerebral hemorrhage due to heat stroke, and the experts in question could find nothing else in her condition or history to account for the paralysis.
Disability by heat or sunstroke is accounted accidental under the Workmen's Compensation Law: Lane v. Horn Hardart Baking Co.,
Acting under the authority of sections 420 and 422 of the Act of June 26, 1919, P. L. 642, 662, 664, the referee asked advice from and took the testimony of an expert called by the referee himself (see Seitzinger v. Fort Pitt Brewing Co.,
The judgment is affirmed.
