The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed a prior award finding that applicant sustained an industrial injury to his shoulders, back, and neck.

However, the Board found the physician's report, detailing the arduous nature of the applicant's job duties involving lifting and manipulating bodies, constituted substantial evidence. This finding was further supported by applicant's and a co-worker's testimony regarding the physically demanding work.
