Fall of roof at face cliff 6ft by 7ft. by 4ft. thick, fell, crushing two props out and killing deceased. After the fall a smooth vertical joint was seen at the left side of the heading, which undoubtedly caused the accident. The props must have lost their foothold on the steep bottom No 2 Rhondda seam.
