Deceased and another workman went into a return airway, also used as a pipe road for conveying steam to a pump, which exhausts direct into the return, to attend to leaking joints. In order to locate the leaking joints a small pressure of steam was left on and in any case the road was very warm. After going so far the man with deceased found it too hot and returned to the pump leaving deceased, who said he could stand the heat. Deceased's mate had all steam cut off and then returned to the drift, and not finding deceased where he had left him concluded he had gone on to a door at top. Some time after he found deceased further up dead, evidently overcome by the heat. In subsequent search deceased's lamp was found 37 yards above his body. He had probably become confused, lost his light, and then turned back. Deceased had received a somewhat severe electric shock some few months before.
