On 21st July 2007, TUC Risks reported that a chartered accountant had died as a result of exposure to asbestos. Raymond Dunn who was 73, died after developing pneumonia caused by the asbestos cancer mesothelioma.
He was exposed to the asbestos when he visited a the offices of a factory to carry out the annual audit. He was there for no more than a couple of days each year, more than 50 years ago. He did not visit the factory itself, but he did speak of clouds of asbestos surrounding the Manchester factory in the 1950s and the presence of dust in the offices.
