Details of Event
Deceased was taking a tram of coal down a gradient of 1 in 9 when by some means, he got run over. He was most likely riding on the gun and struck his head against the roof which just inside of where he was found was 8ins. lower than the general level of the roof. At the step the height was 5 t. 4ins. Steps down in the roof where riding is allowed should be removed, so as to keep the roof free from inequalities.
