Buried in the bush about three quarters of a mile west of Yuin Reef Mine. While bathing in a pool with 18 other men, Giuseppe suddenly went beyond his depth and sank. One of the eye-witnesses immediately dived in after him but it was only after the second dive that the body was secured. Alba was brought to the dry land and every effort was made to resuscitate him, in vain. The incident was reported to Mr RJ Carlyon, the proprietor of the Royal Standard Mine, at which Alba was employed, who took a statement, signed by the 28 witnesses, into Yalgoo, to Mr John Hearn, JP., who concluded there was no necessity for an inquest and issued an order for the burial of the body. Two Italians who had been paid off from the mine that same day, insisted Alba was murdered and took their complaint to Geraldton but they could give no information that was considered to be of any value. He was buried by Simon Timothy Powell, witnessed by Walter Baumgarten (Police Constable No 665) and Edward George Brand. Alba died intestate. His estate was valued at £60 15s.

Buried by Bob Berti and Ensign Wray (Salvationist), witnessed by Police Constable Percy Frederick Hamilton (Regimental Number 581), Yalgoo. Ensign Wray read the burial service.
