Details of Event
Deceased, who had been a very healthy man, complained to his wife when he left his house about 4pm. on the 11th to go to work, that he had a sore chest. He worked his shift out shooting up bottom stone with saxonite without any suggestion of any accident, and parted with his marrow at the lamp cabin on the surface about 1am. He was found dead on the highway about 200 yards from the pit a quarter of an hour later. A doctor examined the body, and gave evidence at the inquest that death was due to a sudden attack of heart disease, and so the Jury found.
