Details of Event
He had been repairing roof on a horse road and stepped to the side to allow the rake drawn by a pony to pass. He had good room, but apparently he slipped, as his legs were caught by the wheels and he was dragged a few yards and injured. He died three hours later from shock following on his injury.
