Another death in Greater Manchester is suspected of being linked to mould at home

Another person's death in Greater Manchester is suspected of being linked to mould at their home, the Manchester Evening News can reveal. The case of 27-year-old of Luke Brooks is being investigated by police and a coroner.

An expert has suggested his death, on October 25 last year, was related to conditions at his family's rented property in Oldham. It was described as 'heavily mould-infested'.

Senior coroner Joanne Kearsley has opened an inquest into Mr Brooks' death. It comes months after she presided over hearings into the case of Awaab Ishak, who died in 2020 after being exposed to mould at his parent's housing association flat in Rochdale.
