Dai Evans

Dai Evans was a miner at the Llanfairfach Colliery whose death from a viral infection revealed the mine’s hidden biological threat. His post-mortem results uncovered a luminescent plague that infected his body during work in the lift shaft, becoming the colliery’s third fatality. Evans’ role as an early victim frames the mine’s collapse not just as structural decay but as an unfolding environmental catastrophe. His story begins with routine labor and ends with scientists examining the consequences, tying his fate to the broader crisis of unchecked ecological exploitation.
