Good luck.
My ex's great-grandfather was killed in a mining accident in 1912. I found a short paragraph of the inquest held on his death in the local (Welsh) newspaper. The back page was made up of dozens of paragraphs on the deaths of miners. Now there would be a huge public outcry, but this was in the days before the Health & Safety Executive.
