Not clear from the stub of an article whether he both had a sleep apnea diagnosis and shared it with his employer as a disability prior to sleeping on the job.
If this diagnosis was entertained only after getting fired, then no chance the department should be on the hook for anything. And if he was somehow officially ‘disabled’ prior to sleeping on the job, perhaps he should have been assigned to desk duty, where an alert employer could ‘help’ him remain wakeful.
