He was standing eight feet below the pulley level, guiding the rope in order to prevent it coming in contact with some telephone wires. He gave the signal to the others to drop the rope. The end sprang inwards and encircled his neck. He dropped with the rope from a height of 35 feet to the ground and was knocked unconscious. He only lived about five minutes after the accident. |
