Details of Event
Deceased was engaged on the surface emptying a wagon of dirt on to ground which contained water some 11 feet deep. He was missed by others working near and his body ultimately recovered from the water. It is surmised that in rolling out a large stone from the wagon he overbalanced and followed it.
