Context:

“Artículo 38. Fallecimiento en acto de servicio.

1. La Empresa concederá a los viudos y/o huérfanos del trabajador que fallezca como consecuencia de las lesiones sufridas hallándose en acto de servicio la cantidad establecida en el punto 2, siempre que en el fallecimiento concurran las siguientes condiciones:
a) Que entre la prestación estricta del servicio y el hecho de la muerte exista un indudable nexo de causalidad u ocasionalidad.
b) Que las lesiones causantes de la muerte se produzcan:
1º. O por acontecimiento fortuito debido a un agente físico exterior, salvo que se líate de un siniestro que, por su naturaleza o generalidad no sea racionalmente referible a las condiciones en que se presta el servicio, o siéndolo, escape al orden de lo humanamente previsible.
2º. O por actos propios del que resulte víctima, salvo que por su parte mediara impericia, imprudencia o inobservancia de obligaciones.
3º. O por actos de un tercero.”

Thanks for any help in advance.
