This is an appeal by the claimant widow from a decree of the Superior Court awarding her specific compensation under G. L. c. 152, § 36 (h) (bodily disfigurement) and 36 (i) (loss of bodily functions or sense other than hearing and sight), “to be paid ... in a bulk sum” under § 36A. This was the same amount the single member found due. His findings and decision were adopted and affirmed by the reviewing board. The single member found that during the course of his employment the employee, a glazer, fell from the second story window of a school onto the asphalt pavement of the school yard about 10 a.m. About 10:46 a.m. a police ambulance arrived and took the employee to the hospital where he was admitted at 11:10 a.m. “ [P]rior to the arrival of the ambulance . . . the employee had some degree of consciousness but was unconscious and incoherent while in the ambulance and never regained consciousness and was pronounced dead at 11:50 a.m.” The claimant widow contends that, in addition to the amounts she received under G. L. c. 152, § 36 (h) and 36 (i),
Decree affirmed.
