Record factory worker dies following battle with mesothelioma cancer

October 19, 2009

A former record factory worker died from a disease related to asbestos exposure, according to medical reports. Maurice Kelly was 80 years old at the time of his death on March 15th of this year. Kelly, a resident of Eastbourne, East Sussex, England, worked for record giant EMI Records during the 1950s. The cause of death was a mesothelioma lung tumor linked to asbestos exposure, according to a coroner’s inquest held last week at the Eastbourne Magistrates’ Court.

His wife Diane Kelly presented the coroner with a witness statement that Maurice Kelly prepared before his death. In the statement, Mr. Kelly wrote: "I was definitely exposed to asbestos while demolishing a boiler house at the EMI record factory. The dust in there was terrific – it was all over my clothes and in my hair." His wife added, "He would come home covered in white dust."

The Kelly’s never suspected that being exposed to asbestos could lead to health problems like lung cancer, pleural plaques, and mesothelioma, a rare type of cancer. Mesothelioma can manifest initially in the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart before spreading throughout the body. Many asbestos-related illnesses lie dormant for decades before symptoms emerge.

In this case, Pathologist Dr Hassan El Teraifi, who carried out the post mortem, said exposure to asbestos was the most likely cause of the lung tumor. Coroner Alan Craze has recorded a verdict of death by industrial disease.
