Details of Event
He was assisting a corporal to remove a small fall of roof stone which had occurred a few minutes earlier, when he was knocked down and severely injured by a second fall. He died shortly after arriving at the hospital. Timber should have been set whilst the fall was being removed and the corporal did not make a proper examination of the roof.
