Details of Event
He was engaged splitting a stoop, and had just finished this and reached an old room, which was rather badly fallen and which he intended to cross. The bar which he was setting to secure the roof was too long, and he proceeded to take some coal off the side of the stoop. In doing so he liberated a slab of roof which fell on him, injuring his, back. He died nine days later.
