He was engaged in removing water from a lodge in No.2 shaft to a tank on the cage, when he signalled the cage away before pulling back the connecting pipe. The cage lifted the permanent pipe across which the deceased stood astride and severely bruised his right thigh as well as inflicting internal injuries. He died on 27th December.
