American actor Ed Lauter dies of mesothelioma
We all know the dangers of working around asbestos without the right training and equipment, but most of the population is relying on asbestos being managed properly to protect them from harm. Still, people are contracting mesothelioma and it is killing them.
One such recent high-profile case is that of Ed Lauter. The well-known American actor has appeared in over 200 movies and TV shows over a career that spanned 40+ years. But his career and life have been cut short by mesothelioma. He leaves behind a wife and four children as well as several projects in post-production.
We wish his family well and hope that the cause of his mesothelioma was found and appropriate action taken to stop it harming anyone else.
