A coal miner died Sunday in an incident in a southern West Virginia mine. Gov. Jim Justice said 73-year old William Mapes of Freeburn, Kentucky had 53 years of mining experience and was working as a contractor for LSM Contracting near Central Appalachian Mining LLC’s Grapevine South Surface Mine in Mingo County, along the Kentucky border. A statement from the governor’s office said Mapes was “fatally injured” but did not include details of the incident. It was the first reported U.S. coal mining fatality of the year. There were at least 10 coal mining-related deaths nationwide last year, including four in West Virginia and two each in Kentucky and Pennsylvania, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
