Details of Event
Deceased, with others, had descended the shaft, and the lower deck of the cage was resting on the fans to allow them to go out, when, as deceased was passing out, it slipped off the fans and crushed him to death. The fans may not have been properly under the cage, or the engineman may have just lifted the cage, and caused the fans to fall out from under it.
