A 'gentle giant' was crushed to death under a 1,000 tonne hydraulic press after a health and safety breach by his employer - which has now been fined more than half a million pounds.
Colin Willoughby, 52, was known as the 'go-to guy for tricky engineering problems,' in his role at Graham Engineering Ltd in Nelson, Lancashire, a court heard.
But on May 21, 2018, the popular engineer was killed instantly when a piston came loose, crushing him to death as he worked underneath the press, Lancs Live reports.
