Details of Event
He had been instructed by the deputy to take some top coal down which the deputy considered to be unsafe. He was found about 15 minutes later to have been struck by this coal, and he succumbed to his injuries almost immediately. It was very evident that he did not take ordinary precautions knowing that this coal was dangerous.
