Details of Event
When working in the face a small stone fell from the roof and struck him between the shoulders. His injuries appeared to be slight at first, but he made no progress towards recovery, and eventually pneumonia supervened and he died on the 25th July. The doctors considered that his lungs were damaged by the fall.
