Details of Event
Falls in Mine (b) Falls of Roof – He and another repairer were engaged squaring off an over hanging side which had been gripping the passing tubs on a dipping cross measure drift through sandstone. While he was wedging off a piece a large fall of roof took place and a heavy stone pinned his head to the floor. Death was instantaneous.
