A man who drowned while trying to rescue his teenage colleague from a pig feed tanker has been called a “superhero” by his family.

Gavin Rawson died alongside 19-year-old Nathan Walker at their workplace in 2016, when both men were overcome by toxic fumes and drowned in a container owned by Greenfeeds Ltd, a food waste recycling company based in Normanton, Leicestershire. Their employer was found guilty of corporate manslaughter earlier this month.
