The landlord of a Leeds cellar 'flat' "unsuitable for human habitation," where a fire resulted in the death of a man, has been jailed for breaching health and safety regulations.
Philip Sheridan, 36, died of injuries suffered in a major flat fire in the unofficially converted basement, dubbed "unsuitable for human habitation," where he lived in Berkeley Grove, Harehills.
Harrowing photos of the scene show the oven where the fire started and the door that Mr Sheridan struggled to escape through. The cellar had only had one entrance – through an inward-opening door that did not have a proper handle on it, and was partially blocked by the oven, which was the source of the fire.
