OPINION
CRONE, Judge.
Case Summary
Boyd Vandenberg's wife, Jane Vanden-berg, appeals the order of the Full Worker's Compensation Board ("the Board"), affirming the single hearing officer's decision denying her claim for worker's compensation benefits following Boyd's suicide. Jane asserts that the Board erroneously concluded that Snedegar Construction, Inc. ("the Company"), carried its burden to prove that Boyd's death was caused by a knowingly self-inflicted injury and therefore she is not entitled to benefits. We affirm.
