Details of Event
A small piece of stone fell from the roof upon him. He complained of pain but worked for the rest of the shift. He rested a day and then worked a day but as the pain continued he consulted a doctor. Pneumonia supervened and he died. A post-mortem examination showed that one of his ribs was broken.
