If you mean the Inquest, it is on the FoD site that you are currently viewing.
There is a blue band across the top of this page. Click where it says Resources.
On the drop down Menu click on Inquests. Enter TYE and 1925 on the Search Page and that will bring the Inquest Index up. Then click on View Transcript.

It looks like it was a very unfortunate accident, and very sad for his family.
Hopefully someone will be able to post the newspaper reports I listed in full, although there may not be much more info in them.
