Would like to look more intensely at the Evening Sentinel. February 11th 1972. Final Page 8.
A good turn turned into a tragedy at Chatterley Whitfield colliery, an inquest jury heard at Tunstall yesterday. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death on Mr. Frank Wilde, of 94, Conway-road, Knypersley, who died on December 7th as a result of a roof fall at the colliery. Mr. Wilde, who was the Underground Manager at the time, was supervising work on a section of roof that had been liable to collapse. As the Manager Mr. Wilde did not have to help with the actual work, but did so as a “good turn”, Mr. Wilde was placing pieces of wood on to of the Hydraulic Chocks in order to support the roof. Mr. Wilde was heard to shout and try to get under cover. Mr. Wilde was in a sitting position when he was recovered from the roof fall he was given artificial respiration, but was found to be dead when he arrived at the surface. The cause of death was lacerations to the brain, due to fractures of the skull.
