Boyd Vandenberg was at a company party on company property. While the company did not provide alcohol

Question:

Boyd Vandenberg was at a company party on company property. While the company did not provide alcohol at the party, Boyd was drinking and his blood alcohol level was high. Boyd's boss, thinking he had been drinking, told him not to drive home, but to call his wife, Jane, to pick him up. Boyd ignored that, got in the truck the company provided him, and crashed into another company-owned truck. Distraught over the accident, he grabbed a handgun he kept in the truck and killed himself. His wife, Jane, filed an application for workers' compensation benefits due the survivor of a worker who died on the job. Do you think workers' compensation benefits would apply? [Vandenberg v. Snedegar Construction, 911 N.E.2d 681, Ct. App., Ind. (2009)]
