Richard Whittington crushed by the fall of a bell (General)

by lesleyr, London, (5814 days ago)

Hello,
According to the transcript of the inquest into the death of Richard Whittingon in a colliery accident in April 1875, he was ‘Crushed by the fall of a bell in the Trafalgar Colliery’.
Does anyone know what sort of bell would have been able to cause his death by crushing him?
