Apprentice electrician dies of mesothelioma after work exposure

A former electrician who died of mesothelioma may have been exposed to asbestos in the 1960s.

The 63-year-old died in the hospital on April 3 this year, and an autopsy attributed his death to mesothelioma.

A newspaper said a medical report indicated two possible sources of of the man's exposure to asbestos.

From 1965 to 1968, he was an apprentice electrician and, during the 1960s, he lived in a house with a central heating boiler insulated 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.
