Details of Event
Deceased was cut in two by the gearing wheels of an electrically driven pump underground. He had stepped inside the bed-frame of the pump to do something to the machinery while it was in motion, when his coat was probably caught in the teeth of the cogs, and he was drawn down between the wheels.
