Details of Event
Deceased was walking along an engine plane at the end of his shift when he was overtaken by a journey of six trams and run over. He was found with his body in a manhole and one of his legs under the tram. He evidently delayed getting into a manhole until too late. His leg had to be amputated, and he died on December 27th.
