Narrative

The victim was standing behind the center bolter observing the slack power cable laying on the ground. As he walked around the bolter to check for slack, he stepped on a small rock (saucer dish size) causing him to twist & fall to the bottom. He was taken to the hospital and a soft cast was put on. He went into convulsions on 4/28/07 at home and later died at the hospital.
