In In re Application of Feehan (1980), 34 Ill. Ct. Cl. 293, the Court found that a police officer died in the line of duty when he suffered a fatal heart attack after testifying in a burglary case. The court found that in addition to the stress from testifying, the officer had suffered a lot of job-related stress namely the extraordinary amount of overtime he put in and the drug surveillance and stakeouts he had been engaged in.
