Details of Event
A piece of the top block of the seam, which he was trying to wedge down, suddenly came away, and dropping on to a bench toppled over on to him, causing injuries from which he died. He was an old man crippled with rheumatism, otherwise he would have been able to get out of the way of the falling stone.
