- Details of Event
- Deceased had finished his work in the opening, and was walking down the side of a heap of coal towards the gate road, when a large piece of coal and top dirt fell off the lip of the road and struck him down. Simultaneously a quantity of loose coal rolled from the upper part of the heap and buried him. When released he was found to have died from suffocation. There was a visible line of fracture at both ends of the piece of coal which fell. It should have been got down.
