Wife died from washing asbestos-laden overalls

David Ridley, the Deputy Wiltshire Coroner, who presided over the asbestos case, said:

"Her husband didn't wash his hands and instead rubbed them into his overalls. This was then handled and washed by Olive on a weekly basis."

He said Olive died from the industrial disease mesothelioma, when she was exposed with contact of her husband's work clothing.
