Details of Event
Deceased was preparing to drop top coal in an opening 7 yards by 6 yards. He was loosening one of the trees with a pricker when the roof collapsed over the whole area, knocking out the trees, and burying and suffocating deceased near the bolt-hole. After the fall, slips were exposed along two sides of the opening.
