Details of Event
Deceased, when turning over a piece of rock, pinched the little finger of his right hand between the rock and the side of a tub he was filling. He continued his shift, and worked two more shifts, but his finger became worse, and on the 15th December he was sent to the hospital where he died the same day from blood-poisoning.
