Mum dies of cancer after years of washing husband's asbestos covered uniform

A woman who spent years washing her husband's work clothes had no idea that it would lead to her tragic death, an inquest has heard.

Sandra Dixon passed away aged 71 in August after being repeatedly exposed to asbestos while cleaning her partner's work uniform, Wales Online reports. Assistant coroner for Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire Gareth Lewis described her death as a “sad and classic case of secondary asbestos exposure”.

The inquest heard that Mrs Dixon, who was originally from Cardiff but lived in Sageston, was a popular dance teacher with a love for ballroom and Latin American dancing.
