A man who previously worked as a bricklayer died as a result of asbestos exposure, an inquest has heard.
Michael Espin, who was 79, died in August this year at his home in Louth, Lincolnshire.
He was diagnosed with mesothelioma in December last year, after being exposed to asbestos during his working life.
Stuart Fisher, Central Lincolnshire Coroner, said: “As a result of two lifetime statements made this year which details Mr Espin’s workplace history, it is clear that on numerous occasions during his working life he was exposed to asbestos in the workplace.”
Mr Fisher recorded a verdict that Mr Espin died as a result of industrial disease.
