Details of Event
Deceased was loading coal on to a conveyor, which had been put to work in the place during the previous week, when a piece of stone, 5 feet by 2 feet by 4 inches, came away from the roof and fell on his back. There had been a crush on the place, but the stone fell without any warning. The place was only 3 feet 3 inches high. He died five days later.
