Heat, dehydration killed miners, autopsy reveals CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (AP) Two federal mine inspectors studied copper mine shaft in central Arizona desert today in search of the cause of a cave-in that resulted in the deaths of two miners.

A medical examiner's report released Sunday said David Deeder of Casa Grande, a 42-year-old Hecla Mining Co. assistant shift foreman, and Terry Udall, 25, of Fort Collins, died of dehydration and heat exhaustion at least five days before rescuers reached them. Deeder, a veteran miner, led a rescue team at Hecla's Sunshine Mine near Kellogg, Idaho, in a disaster that killed 91 miners in May 1972. Udall and Deeder were trapped in the tunnel 1,200 feet underground Aug. 17 when tons of debris fell between them and the exit of Hecla's Lakeshore Mine 35 miles south of here.

Their bodies were recovered Saturday. Casa Grande Justice of the Peace George Pickerel, who released the autopsy findings, said a coroner's jury would begin a formal inquest next week. "The state of the bodies indicated the men died at least five days before they were found," said Pickerel. "It could even have been longer." Deeder's body was found in a sitting position, leaning against the tunnel wall, his face turned toward the debris blocking the tunnel. "He had just started to light a cigarette, but it fell out of his hand and was beside him when rescuers got to him," said Verne McCutchan, state mine inspector.

Udall's body was found about 150 feet further back in the tunnel. What's the weather? 50. Data From NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE. COOL I NOAA, 60 U.S. Depl.
