Details of Event
He was working alone in a place and was found underneath a long length of coal which had fallen over on him, inflicting injuries which probably caused death instantly. The coal was known to be dangerous, as it was surrounded by a lype, a hitch, a loose side, a smooth roof, and it was lying at a steep inclination, but it was considered that proper precautions were being taken to support it.
