1Opinion of the CourtHjelm, J.
[¶ 1] The Salvation Army appeals from an order of the Workers’ Compensation Board Appellate Division affirming the decision of the Board (Knopf, HO) to grant an award of compensation to the estate of Gregory Sullwold. The Salvation Army contends that the hearing officer improperly applied the rebuttable presumption in 39-A M.R.S. § 327 (2014) to conclude that Sullwold’s death from a heart attack was a personal injury arising out of and in the course of employment. Because we find no error in the hearing officer’s application of the presumption, we affirm the judgment.
