Three Arrested After Fatal Kirkdale Industrial Incident as Police and HSE Investigate

The joint inquiry seeks to establish any safety failings following a workplace death caused by a falling object.

Overview

  • Two men, aged 32 and 34, and a woman, 58, were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and have been conditionally bailed as inquiries continue.
  • The victim, a man in his 50s, was pronounced dead at the scene after a heavy object fell on him, with formal identification pending and next of kin informed.
  • A second man in his 20s was injured in the incident and remains in hospital receiving treatment.
  • The site between Glendower Street and Orberon Street remains cordoned off as the Health and Safety Executive supports Merseyside Police and officers appeal for information.
  • Local reporting indicates the unit is understood to belong to Shunfa Construction, and nearby workers say the men were unloading marble when the object fell.
