I am posting this link because of the type of work that this man did. He has the classic work profile for being exposed to asbestos.
– Sanding pipes in boiler rooms.
– Low ventilation and probably minimal protection when he was working.
Here is a quote from the article.
He worked in boiler rooms sanding down pipes lagged with asbestos.
…
“We came into contact with asbestos on a regular basis. Most of the buildings had boiler rooms lagged with asbestos.”
Dr Jacqueline Elder, a pathologist at the Countess of Chester Hospital, carried out a post-mortem examination and recorded the cause of death as mesothelioma.
She said plural plaques were evident in the lungs and he had suffered with ischaemic heart disease.
