Biography

Known as Andy.

Andy Zanotti sustained a fractured skull from falling down a mine shaft. At the inquest held on 10 November to investigate the death of Andy Zanotti, at the Sons of Gwalia Gold Mine that day, viewed the body and adjourned the hearing.  On the resumption of the enquiry, evidence was heard from Dr H.E. Clarke that: "1 arrived at the conclusion that deceased died of shock, as a result of injury to the skull and damage to the brain substance." 

Other evidence was heard and, after a short retirement, the jury recorded "...that Zanotti was accidentally killed through shock and injuries to skull by falling down the shaft from No. 8 to No 9 plat and that no blame was attachable to anyone."

The deceased, with others, was engaged in doing some repair work about the No. 7 level when by some means he lost his footing and fell to the No. 9 level, where he struck the skip.

Andy Zanotti had several brothers in the district.
