Former mechanical engineer who died of mesothelioma was exposed to asbestos in steel companies.

A 95-year-old man who worked in steel companies as a mechanical engineer has died of mesothelioma, a cancer related to asbestos exposure.

The worker, who lived in the United Kingdom, had mesothelioma and asbestos bodies were identified in his lungs, an autopsy revealed.

His daughter told a court that he used to install oxygen pumps, sometimes in steel work companies, which she believed caused him to come into contact with asbestos.

Sadly, this situation, where exposure to asbestos was easily preventable, is all too familiar to the mesothelioma attorneys in the Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. Asbestos Litigation unit here in the United States.
