A former marine engineer of 72 died from an asbestos-related disease, reported the Reading Evening Post on July 23, 2008.

According to the Post report, doctors notes revealed the man was suffering from “very advanced mesothelioma” after being exposed to asbestos in his working life.

He had worked as a fitter and turner for a company and then moved on to work on ships until 1981. A statement he made before he died said, “I was regularly exposed to asbestos all day and every day.”
