• 年仅29岁的谷歌（Google）软件工程师安吉拉·林（Angela Lin）于7月19日（星期六）在约塞米蒂国家公园被坠落的树枝砸中身亡。谷歌以慷慨的员工死亡福利著称。
29岁的谷歌软件工程师安吉拉·林与男友及两名朋友在约塞米蒂国家公园徒步时，被突然坠落的树枝砸中身亡。《旧金山纪事报》（SFGate）最先报道了这一事件。
在四名朋友听到树林中传来巨大的断裂声后，大量小树枝掉落——其中一根粗壮的树枝砸中了安吉拉。
“实在难以想象会发生这样的事。”林的男友大卫·华（David Hua）告诉《旧金山纪事报》。
华向该媒体透露，树枝坠落时他闭上了双眼，待再度睁开时，只见林倒在地上，头部周围积了一大滩血。他称自己拨打了911并对林实施心肺复苏术，直至公园管理员和随后赶到的警方人员抵达现场。紧急救援人员称，坠落的树枝导致林当场死亡。
谷歌发言人向《财富》杂志发表了如下声明：“我们痛失了一位深受喜爱和尊重的团队成员。我们对这一悲剧深感悲痛，向其家人和亲友致以深切慰问。”
尽管谷歌并未对员工死亡后公司相关政策的具体细节予以证实，但据《福布斯》2012年的报道，若有员工离世，谷歌会向其配偶支付该员工薪资的一半，持续10年——此项福利不设任职年限门槛，无论员工在谷歌工作了多久，均可立即享受此福利。
据该报道，谷歌还会向逝者配偶提供股票福利，并为其子女每月提供1000美元，直至子女年满19周岁。
谷歌在2012年也向《商业内幕》（Business Insider）证实，同性伴侣可享受同等福利。
林过去六年一直在旧金山地区担任工程师——最初就职于赛富时（Salesforce），后加入谷歌。她拥有得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的理学硕士学位。（*）

• Angela Lin, a Google software engineer, was killed by a falling tree branch in Yosemite National Park on Saturday, July 19. Lin was 29. Google is well-known for its generous death benefits for employees.
Angela Lin, a 29-year-old software engineer at Google, was suddenly killed by a falling tree branch while hiking with her boyfriend and two friends in Yosemite National Park. SFGate was the first to report the story.
After the four friends heard a large crack from the trees, a bunch of small branches fell to the ground—and one big branch struck Angela.
“It was just unimaginable that something like this could occur,” David Hua, Lin’s boyfriend, told SFGate.
Hua told the outlet he closed his eyes when the branches fell but noticed Lin on the ground, with blood pooled around her head, when he opened his eyes. He said he called 911 and performed CPR until a park ranger, and later police, showed up. Emergency responders said the falling branch killed Lin instantly.
A Google spokesperson provided the following statement to Fortune: “We lost a loved and respected member of our team. We’re very saddened by this tragedy, and our hearts are with their family and loved ones.”
While Google wouldn’t corroborate details about their policies surrounding what happens when an employee dies, in 2012, Forbes reported that in the event of an employee’s death, Google will pay half of an employee’s salary to their spouse for 10 years—a benefit that has no tenure requirement. Every employee is immediately eligible for this benefit regardless of how long they’ve worked at the company.
According to that report, Google also provides stock benefits to the spouse of the deceased employee, and also provides $1,000 per month for any of their children until they turn 19 years old.
Google also confirmed to Business Insider in 2012 that same-sex couples receive the same benefits.
Lin had been working as an engineer in the San Francisco area for the last six years—first at Salesforce, and later at Google. She earned her Master of Science degree from the University of Texas at Austin.
