Details of Event
Deceased had been working single at the face of a 6 yard bord. He was found dead under it stone from a pot hole. He had evidently been hewing at the face and he had cut away the support to the heavy end of the stone. Several props were rolled out. The deputy said there were no signs of the pot hole before the accident.
