Deceased was walking inbye to his work along with others when he seemed to trip and fell forward and his head struck a prop; he was at once attended to but died almost immediately. It was at first thought that he had broken his neck, but a post-mortem examination revealed no injury and that death was due to heart disease. An inquest was held and medical evidence given to this effect, and so the Jury found. The Local Inspectors after reciting the conditions of the road concluded "in our opinion he must have tripped himself up."
