Kingsland man Robert Fuller dies from asbestos exposure

Herefordshire Coroner's Court heard that Robert Fuller, from Kingsland, died from epithelioid mesothelioma, which he had been diagnosed with before his death on May 7.

The inquest heard the retired research electrical engineer was exposed to asbestos when he worked at a power station and on ships when he joined the navy between 1952 and 1956. He was also exposed to asbestos when he worked for a Canadian shipping company.

Coroner Mark Bricknell recorded that he died of an industrial disease.
