Here's some new information
The number of coal miners killed on the job in the United States this year rose to 20 on Thursday after a rock fall in an underground operation in Kentucky.
A layer of rocks fell on a miner in a TECO Coal mine near Hazard, said Chuck Wolfe, spokesman for the state's Environmental & Public Protection Cabinet.
The company identified the victim as Tim Caudill, 33, of Viper, a roof bolter who has worked for the company since 2001.
In a press release, the company said Caudill was relocating equipment from one location to another when rock and debris fell on him. There were no other injuries, the company said.
