A worker was killed in Moranbah North mine last Friday after suffering fatal head injuries in an event still undergoing investigation.
The 59-year-old father of two, Gaven Feltwell, was in the Moranbah North mine when the tragedy occurred.
Mr Feltwell was reportedly working on “ancillary work” moving an old piece of equipment in a roadway when he was struck in the head.
He was employed as a contractor for Mastermyne, a mining services firm, at the site owned by Anglo American mine.
"We send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to his family, colleagues and our communities as we process this tragedy," Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said in a Facebook post.
"Our hearts break all over again today. On behalf of Isaac, I extend our gratitude and support to emergency workers who were there for him last night."
The company has since suspended operations at the site while Resources Safety and Health Queensland investigate the incident.
Mr Feltwell was honoured by the Moranbah Community at the Moranbah Miners’ Memorial with a moving service last Saturday night. Mayor Baker laid a wreath on behalf of the community who stood for a minute's silence.
