I'm sure I've read something about this death. Was it something to do with a colliery or ironworks celebration that went horribly wrong?

Just found the one I was thinking of. That was 16 yr old Edwin Goold who was killed in 1836 by a cannon exploding. The occasion was the laying of the foundation stone for two new blast furnaces, with the associated celebrations.

Many thanks for posting this, Grantley Dufty was part of my family, and I did wonder why he died so young. Poor lad, a very unpleasant death to say the least!
