The partner of a man fatally injured by an exploding jet hose in Leeds has told how she waited until after Christmas to switch off his life support for the sake of their kids.

- by Nicola Adam

Estefania Fonseca was told partner Miguel Galvao, 51, was seriously injured at work on December 10, 2022. Engineer Miguel was priming the jetting hose, a loud explosion was heard at a Lanes Group Limited site in Leeds. The end of the hose whipped up and hit him. Doctors placed the dad-of-three in an induced coma but after two weeks in hospital, doctors told Estefania there was nothing more they could do.
