Details of Event
Falls in Mine (b) Falls of Roof – A small fall had taken place at the face and partly closed the space between the face and the buildings. He was stripping off the coal from the face to enlarge the place to make a free passage for the air current when a piece of stone weiging about 30 cwts. fell from the roof on him. His spine was fractured and his neck dislocated. He died almost immediately.
