Details of Event
Deceased had taken a quantity of gelignite, which was frozen, out of the hut to thaw it. He filled one warming pan and then proceeded to break a stick of the gelignite, which was too long to get into another warming pan, when an explosion occurred and killed him, and slightly injured a miner who was in the hut.
