Widow's plea over death of ex-dockyard worker

Denis Tapp, who died from mesothelioma earlier this year

THE family of a man who died from mesothelioma - a cancer caused by asbestos exposure - is appealing for information from individuals who worked with him between 1978 and 1984.

Specialist asbestos solicitors at Hugh James which has offices in a number of cities including Plymouth - have been instructed by the widow of Denis Tapp, who sadly passed away from mesothelioma earlier this year, to pursue a civil compensation claim.
