Asbestos Exposure Leads to the Death of a 92-year-old man
An investigation into the death of 92-year-old James Newland was held at the Eastbourne Magistrates Court (UK) on April 1st. Newland, a former floor layer, who retired at the age of 65, was exposed to asbestos some time during his long career.
Coroner Alan Craze said Dr. Jane Mercer, who carried out the post mortem on November 21, had given the cause of death as advanced mesothelioma brought on by exposure to asbestos. Craze explained that Newland's lungs revealed he had suffered a 'much greater than average exposure'.
Mr. Newman and his family were unaware of the problem until his death. Widow Margaret Newland said that her husband had worked all around the country and that it would be difficult to determine exactly where he came into contact with the asbestos. The coroner agreed it would be difficult to 'pin point' a firm or employer but said the buildings Mr. Newman worked in would, most likely, have contained asbestos.
