Details of Event

He was standing on a water pipe by the side of an engine plane to allow a set of full tubs to pass him when his feet slipped on the iron pipe and his right arm fell in front of the wheels of one of the tubs, and he was dragged about 20 yards. He was wearing clogs at the time, and this and his advanced age was the cause of his slipping. Died on the 17th.
