Details of Event
Deceased had just started work during the back shift in a bord in the Plessey seam of the Hartford pit when his brother, who was in the next bord, heard him make a peculiar noise, and going to him found him lying unconscious. He was taken home but never rallied, and died the same night. There was no suggestion of any accident. An inquest was held after a post-mortem examination, when medical evidence was given that death was due to congestion of the brain accelerated by his diabetic condition, and so the Jury found.
