1Opinion of the Court
Gregory, Justice.
In this workers’ compensation case the State Board made an award in favor of a natural child arising out of the accidental death of his father. The Superior Court of Bibb County reversed, holding, among other things, that the termination of the father’s parental rights to the child pursuant to OCGA § 15-11-53 1 precluded an award. An application to appeal was denied by the Court of Appeals and we granted certiorari to determine if the conclusive presumption of dependency created by OCGA § 34-9-13 (b) (3) 2 is defeated by termination of parental rights under OCGA § 15-11-53.…
