Details of Event
Deceased was engaged at the face of a 4-yard heading and was instantly killed by a large fall of roof, which rolled out several slips. There was a slippery parting in each side of the fall. The stone was probably loosened by a shot fired shortly before, and was liberated when a back was reached at the coal face.
