Details of Event
He was found dead under a large fall of roof in a road a few behind a full tub he was bringing out. The tub was on the rails and almost clear of the fall. The place was crushing and it is probable that either one of the props, under a bar was so displaced, by the weight that the tub struck it the tub left the rails and struck it. The former supposition is more likely to be correct in view of the fact that the tub was almost past the fall.
