A tragic mining accident in Australia has resulted in the deaths of two people, one of whom has been identified as Ambrose Patrick McMullen, a man from County Cavan, Ireland. The incident occurred early Tuesday morning at the Endeavor mine in Cobar, located approximately 700 kilometers (435 miles) northwest of Sydney. Mr. McMullen, 59, was reportedly married with children and had relocated to Australia from Cootehill in the mid-1980s. He is remembered by a local councillor as a kind and friendly individual who excelled in sports. This devastating event is the first fatal mine explosion in Australia since 2015, a rare occurrence in the country according to Safe Work Australia. Authorities confirmed that two women in their 20s were rescued from the mine, but sadly, one of them did not survive. Investigations into the cause of the explosion are underway, with a report to be prepared for the coroner.
