Details of Event
Deceased had that morning asked for and obtained work and had been shown the place he was to work in. He however did no work, but sat down until about noon and then took his tools back to the shaft. While being raised through the shaft with four other men he was suddenly missed. The hitcher, soon after be had signalled him up, saw his body fall on the sump planks. The other men said that they felt nothing to account for deceased being thrown out. It looked to me like a case of suicide. He was said to have been drinking heavily for three weeks before.
