The heartbroken family of a much-loved man who died from asbestos cancer has appealed for information to help them understand how he developed the illness.
Jim Kennedy was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the lungs most commonly associated with exposure to asbestos, often decades previously.
The 82-year-old worked at Ravenscraig in Motherwell initially as a burner, before becoming a welder in the early 1960s. His family now fears he was exposed to asbestos while working at the steelworks.
