Details of Event

The filler, in bringing a full tub of coal out of the stall to the gate-end knocked out a prop which allowed a little stone to fall from the roof. He called to deceased to come and remove the stone and whilst he was doing 80 a further fall of about a ton of stone occurred and killed him.
