ASBESTOS LITIGATION: Droitwich Local's Death Linked to Exposure Worcestershire, England, coroner Geraint Williams recorded an open verdict after Wendy Stevens, of Droitwich Spa, England, died as a result of asbestos exposure, the Worcester News reports. The 65-year-old Mrs. Stevens died on Oct. 31, 2008, at home in Littleton Road, Droitwich, after suffering from a lung disease caused by asbestos exposure. Her family recounted the time she worked as a history teacher at Bromsgrove College, where major construction work was being done to the building. Mrs. Stevens' son Guy Stevens said, "They closed half the building off and were doing the work during term time. I think there was polythene on the doors." However, Mr. Williams could not be sure the woman's lung disease was caused by this particular exposure. He said at the inquest on March 4, 2009, "I cannot say it is more likely than not to have been ingested at work." |
