Details of Event
A gate pack was being built and the deceased was throwing stones from the goaf to his mates for the purpose when a fall of roof occurred and killed him. The roof where he was working was unsupported, timber having been withdrawn and he should not have gone where he was unless timber had been put to protect him.
