Prayers requested for family of miner killed FRANKFORT, Ky. (Oct. 10, 2020) - A 48-year-old coal miner was killed Friday at the Double Mountain Mining #3 "Strata" surface mine, in Fonde, Bell County. Douglas Slusher, of Calvin, Kentucky, began his shift at 7:45 a.m. Friday morning, working as a hydro seeder. The eight-year mining veteran was struck in the chest at approximately noon when a coupling failed on the hydro gun he was operating. He was given CPR but was pronounced dead on site. "Our hearts go out to the miner, his family and co-workers for this tragic loss of life," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "We invite everyone in the commonwealth to join us in prayer today." All mining operations were shut down Friday after the death and will continue to be suspended while an investigation continues. The Kentucky Department for Natural Resources, Division of Mine Safety, sent investigators to the mine immediately Friday afternoon. "On behalf of the cabinet, I want to express my deepest sympathies to the Slusher family," Kentucky Energy and Environment Secretary Rebecca Goodman said. "We will learn more about how this accident happened so that we can hopefully prevent another such loss of life." This story was posted on 2020-10-11 06:19:19
