Details of Event
Deceased and several others were widening out a 12ft. place in a seam 3ft. 9in in thickness and transforming it into a longwall heading. He was lying holing at a point about six or eight feet from which a shot hole had already been drilled and charged when a piece of coal 6ft 5in x 2ft. 5in at extremes suddenly burst off the face and fell upon him causing injuries to which he succumbed the same day.
