Details of Event
When taking a wooden cover for a blind pit down the shaft in the cage along with him, the cover was caught by the shaft barring and crushed him. The cover could no more than get into the cage, and was not secured in any way as ought to have been. He was descending without a light and held the cover upright with his hands.
