Mesothelioma Claims the Life of Actor David Nicholls

David Nicholls, an actor with roles in Hollywood films such as Gladiator and Gangs of New York, died in July 2008 from mesothelioma.  The 58 year-old actor had been exposed to asbestos at the age of fifteen, when he left school for a factory job, where he worked with asbestos pipe covering.

Upon developing mesothelioma, Nicholls worked ceaselessly to raise funds for mesothelioma research and for promoting awareness about the dangers of asbestos. Exposure to asbestos is known to cause serious diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis.
