Details of Event
He was drawing some back timber from the side of an old airway, and first withdrew a back prop and then a centre prop. He was going forward to put the chain round a second back prop when the roof fell and killed him. The prop that deceased was intending to draw should have been pulled out second, and the centre prop drawn out as the third one.
