Details of Event
Deceased was engaged in building a brattice wall in an inclined (1 in 2) stone drift. He was walking up the incline to get a tool, when a piece of stone fell off the side a short distance higher up, and rolling down it struck him on the leg causing a compound fracture below the knee. He was removed to the hospital where he died 6 days later from blood poisoning.
