He stated in court documents before his death that he was exposed to asbestos dust and fibers during his career as an engineer at an electricity power station that began in 1956.

Reportedly, he had been close to repairs of boiler lagging that resulted in asbestos being handled and being freely exposed to the resulting dust and fibers at various power stations.
