Details of Event
Deceased's head was crushed between a tub and a prop. He had stood by the side to let the putter pass and put his bead out. He was attended by a doctor for concussion of the brain and resumed work in December. He had to cease work a few weeks later owing to pains in the heed, and died from congestion of the lungs and heart failure.
