Heathrow Airport security guard dies from asbestos-related disease
Briefly

Thomas Longhurst, aged 73, passed away from mesothelioma, a cancer linked to asbestos exposure, after a long career at Heathrow Airport. His family believes he was exposed during extensive maintenance and construction work at Terminal 3 between 1985 and 2016. Despite having a passionate life, he faced a rapid decline after his 2021 diagnosis. The family is now seeking information from former colleagues to support their case against the contractors responsible for the asbestos disturbance. They express profound grief over his untimely death and the impact it has had on their lives.
Thomas served many loyal, hardworking years at Heathrow. He was just starting to settle into his retirement with his family and was excited to meet his new grandchildren.
Following his diagnosis, Thomas had just a few short months. He experienced a lot of pain and suffering. An otherwise fit and keen cyclist, sports fan and walker, Thomas' decline was very quick.
