Shropshire industrial unit death worker named
Monday 13th June 2011, 2:59PM BST.
A man who died after falling from a cherry picker at a north Shropshire industrial unit has today been named as Paul Suthon from the Telford area.
Mr Suthon, who was in his 40s, died after a fall at Grocontinental in Whitchurch at about 1.20pm on Tuesday.
He was working for a building maintenance contractor and was confirmed dead at the scene by emergency crews. An inquest was opened and adjourned on Friday.
An investigation into the incident has been launched by the Health and Safety Executive with help from Shropshire Council.
Bosses at Grocontinental, an international storage and distribution company which employs about 300 people, offered their condolences to the man’s family following the incident.
Inspector Gurjit Singh, from West Mercia Police, said police were not intending to launch a full investigation into the accident because it was a work-related incident.
John Hawker, spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service, said crews found a man with multiple serious injuries but could do nothing to save him.
