Builders working on a city centre construction project had not been provided with an operating manual for a climber platform which later collapsed, claiming the lives of a dad and son.
David Bottomley, 53, and his son Clayton, 17, were working on the Unity Building, on the corner of Chapel Street and Rumford Place, when the platform they were standing on suddenly dropped 14 storeys at 3.30pm on May 19, 2021.
David, from West Yorkshire, was pronounced dead at the scene. Clayton was taken to Aintree Hospital in a critical condition, where he tragically died of his injuries four days later.
An inquest investigation into the pair's deaths began on Monday, with the last pieces of evidence being put before the jury today, September 19. READ MORE: Unity Building workmen told Merseyside Police "the brakes had failed" on the dad and son's climber platform, causing it to fall.
