DENVER — The state of Colorado is denying half the workers’ compensation death benefits to a woman whose husband died while working on a ski lift because he had marijuana in his system.
KMGH-TV reports Erika Lee’s husband, Adam Lee, was crushed to death in December underneath a ski escalator in Loveland.
Erika says she’s frustrated the system is saying “because he smoked a legal substance, we are going to take away your benefits from you and your kids.”
