Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
This case involves substantially the same issue as was raised in Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board and Klebiek v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 19 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 499, 338 A.2d 758 (1975). In this case, the claimant’s husband had died on November 28, 1973, as a result of congestive heart failure. The competent medical evidence relied upon by the referee was that the decendent suffered from anthraco-silicosis which was a significant contributory factor in causing his death. Since Section 301 (c) (2)* of the Act
Accordingly, we enter the following
Order
Now, June 5, 1975, the order of the Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board, dated January 6,1975, affirming the referee’s award of compensation to Marcella Farkas and Julius Farkas, Jr., is hereby affirmed.
. Pennsylvania Workmen’s Compensation Act, Act of June 2, 1915, P. L. 736, as amended, 77 P.S. §411(2) (Supp. 1974-1975).
