Death caused by asbestos

A RETIRED electrician who was exposed to asbestos at Chatham Dockyard died after a large tumour formed in his chest, an inquest was told.

Mr. Morris Yates, of St. Leonards Avenue, Chatham, worked on ships at the former dockyard most of his life. He died, aged 68, on 3 September.

North Kent Coroner Mr Lionel Skingley recorded a verdict of death due to industrial disease and said work at the yard had "given rise to a great many deaths".

Pathologist Dr Peter Jerreat said Mr. Yates' lungs had thick fibrotic areas associated with asbestos illness. There was a massive tumour.

Death had been caused by exposure to asbestos.
