THE family of a 56-year-old man who tragically died in an industrial incident have paid poignant tribute to him.
Andrew Blundell sadly passed away after a “heavy object fell on him” at the Shunfa Construction in Kirkdale, Liverpool on Tuesday evening.
“Andrew, known to his family as Drew and his friends as Andy was a kind loving brother, uncle and friend whose generous spirit enriched the lives of everyone he met,” the victim’s family said.
“He was much loved by all of his family and friends who are devastated by his loss.
“We will miss him beyond words.”
As reported by the Liverpool Echo, the workers had been unloading marble slabs when disaster struck.
Cops arrested three people on suspicion of manslaughter and investigations are ongoing.
Two men aged 32 and 34 and a woman aged 58 have since been granted conditional bail.
The scene remained cordoned off yesterday evening.
Detective Inspector Natalie Charlesworth from Merseyside Police said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of this man as they continue to grieve at this tragic time.
“A joint investigation into the circumstances of this incident continues between Merseyside Police and the Health and Safety Executive.
“We are still in the early stages of investigating this incident and we are determined to get answers about what happened.
“If you have any information, please let us know as it could be vital to the ongoing investigation.”
A HSE spokesperson added: “We are supporting Merseyside Police with an investigation into this incident.”
A BRITISH OnlyFans model has been jailed for three years after admitting trying to smuggle almost £200,000 worth of Thai drugs into Spain.
Glamorous Clara Wilson, from Huthwaite, Notts, was arrested at Barcelona’s El Prat airport after travelling from Thailand with more than 34 kilos of cannabis in her suitcase.
The 36-year-old was remanded to a local jail by an investigating judge and learned in March prosecutors wanted to cage her for four years and be fined more than £750,000.
The Sun has now learned Wilson admitted to wrongdoing as part of a plea bargain deal in exchange for a more lenient punishment ahead of her full trial.
Clara, one of a string of young British women to fall foul of the law in airport drug busts in recent months, accepted a three-year prison sentence and a fine matching the estimated £185,000 value of the cannabis she tried to smuggle into Spain.
Her defence lawyer Yaiza Garcia told Barcelona’s Criminal Court she wanted the sentence suspended, but a state prosecutor opposed the application and a decision was put off to a later date.
Wilson was arrested at the Catalan capital’s El Prat airport as she got off a flight from Bangkok.
Police held her after finding 60-vacuum packed packages containing a green-coloured substance weighing 34,074 grams that tested positive for marijuana.
Public prosecutors said in an indictment drafted before her trial: “The drugs were transported by the accused with the intention of selling it to third parties on the black market where its value would have been EUROS 213,991.”
The Brit model, who goes by Kardi Cee online, has been warned she will be jailed for another two months if she fails to pay her six-figure fine.
The time she has already served in Brians 1 Prison near Barcelona would be taken into account in determining her extra jail time after sentence.
Last month it emerged teenage drug mule suspect Bella Culley’s family face a huge £100,000 fine to buy her freedom from a grim ex-Soviet jail.
The 19-year-old sparked a massive international search operation in early May after she was reported missing while she was believed to be holidaying in Thailand.
It was later revealed that Bella, from Billingham, Co Durham, had been arrested 4,000 miles away in Georgia after allegedly carrying 14kg of cannabis into the ex-Soviet nation and could be facing 20 years behind bars.
At the start of September it was reported her lawyer was close to clinching a deal which would enable her to walk free – provided her family stumps up a huge payout estimated to be around £100,000.
Bella – who fell pregnant on the disastrous backpacking trip – claims she was forced into trafficking by a Thai gang which branded her with an iron and showed her beheading videos.
Charlotte Lee May, 21, a former cabin attendant from south London, remains in custody in Sri Lanka after being arrested in May with 46kg of cannabis she allegedly attempted to smuggle into the country on a flight from Thailand.
Last month a British tourist travelling from Benidorm to Ibiza was arrested after police discovered nearly £300,000 worth of cocaine in his car.
The 27-year-old was apprehended after trying to board a ferry from the Costa Blanca resort of Denia to the Balearic island.
Cops said he reacted to an initial stop by handing them a bottle with a small amount of cannabis resin inside in an apparent attempt to throw them off the scent.
They discovered the seven kilos of cocaine during a full search in the storage compartment between the two front seats.
Video footage of the drug discovery released by the Civil Guard showed an officer hauling the narcotics which had a lizard logo on them out of the ‘hidden compartment’ and the Brit being taken away in handcuffs in a t-shirt and shorts.
Well-placed sources said at the time the cocaine had a potential street value of around £ 280,000 and would have fetched a higher price in Ibiza than on the Spanish mainland.
The Sun has reached out to Wilson’s lawyer for comment.

THERE’S nothing better than boarding a flight only to find it half empty.
However, think twice before switching to an empty row as it could get you in trouble and even left out of pocket.
Passengers have recently been revealing how they were told they would be charged if they tried to move to a different seat than on their boarding pass.
One passenger wrote on social media: “Most of the plane is empty.
“The attendant told us that they won’t let anyone change seats for less than $86/each even though the plane is nearly empty.”
Another wrote: “Picture it an empty plane, the flight attendant comes into the speaker saying we have to sit where we were assigned for weight issues……..
“Then…. Proceeds to say that for the low low cost of of 50$ we can swap seats.”
While it might seem unfair, the reasons behind it are due to safety.
Travel expert Brett Snyder told according to USA Today: ” Airlines will know where people are sitting, they calculate the weight and balance using their systems, and they will load the cargo and the luggage properly to make sure it stays in balance.
“It is still something that can be a problem and travelers do not want to mess that up for their flight.”
A flight attendant also backed this up.
Hailey Way, who previously worked for SkyWest Airlines, said: “If it’s deemed safe to rearrange passenger seating on an aircraft to accommodate weight and balance, then this is done prior to takeoff.”
Not all airlines will charge passengers for trying to switch seats.
It is advised however to ask crew first, as there might be a reason they are empty outside of weight limits.
And of course you can only move to another seat within your class.
So don’t expect to be able to move from an economy seat to one with extra legroom.
Some passengers have tried the controversial “empty middle seat” trick when travelling as a couple.
The “hack” is to book the window and aisle seat as a couple, with the hopes that the middle seat is left empty.
However, this doesn’t always pay off, especially on full flights.
It also risks annoying the passenger in between, if you decide to stay in your seats while with your travel companion and talk over them.
One airline is now letting you bid for an empty seat next to you for just £14.
THE world’s best male bodybuilders are going to be back in action as the time for Mr Olympia 2025 has come.
The most muscular and bronzed that the world has to offer will take to the stage in Las Vegas in a bid to be crowned the best of the best in bodybuilding.
The top competitors in the bodybuilding world will descend upon Las Vegas this weekend, on Saturday, October 11 for Mr Olympia.
The event will be taking place in the Las Vegas Convention Centre.
Pre-judging kicks off at 9:30am on Saturday, all before the finals get underway at 7pm.
Following an unprecedented increase in the prize pot, there is now a life-changing amount of money on the line for the ripped winner.
Mr Olympia has increased the already massive prize purse from $1.8m, reflecting a direct financial competition with other major shows and it proves how at the top tier in the events there’s a real injection of money.
As a result, the prize purse is now a whopping $2m and will be divided amongst the 11 divisions at the event, with $600,00 going to the Mr Olympia victor.
For the others who podium, they’ll still receive a massive $250,000 for second and $100,000 for third.
For the other divisions, the prize is a lot more modest, with the women’s categories and the remaining men’s taking $50,000 as the top prize.
The 2025 edition of the bodybuilding competition is set to be a thriller with the fierce rivalry between Samson Dauda, Hadi Choopan, and Derek Lunsford expected to reach the next level.
Choopan missed out on the Arnold Classic, which gave Lunsford the opportunity to take the win, setting him up to be a potential threat for the title.
Dauda is also in the best physical shape of his career, although was beaten at the Classic, leaving him with a bone to pick against Lunsford.
And so, while Dauda and Choopan can’t be forgotten, Lunsford is coming off the back of a win and has put in the work to improve himself and his body to finally take the Olympia title and put his name in the history books.
Elsewhere, the women’s competition is also set to be an exciting event.
This year’s Ms Olympia fans are watching for Andrea Shaw. She is a force to be reckoned with, after she won her first Ms Olympia title at her debut in 2020, beating other Olympia veterans like Helle Trevino, Mayla Ash, and Maggie Martin.
The Women’s Open division has increased in popularity during this dominance by Shaw. However, she has a bit of competition this year if she wants to upgrade that to a five-year dominance.
A MICHELIN-STARRED chef has announced an unexpected closure of his restaurant “with great sadness”
The popular establishment will shut its doors for good after 12 years in business.
Owner Phil Thompson took to Instagram to bid goodbye to his loyal customers.
He has shared that his brainchild Thompson in St Albans will be closing permanently.
In a post, Phil wrote: “It is with great sadness that after 12 years, we will be closing the doors to Thompson St Albans.
“On behalf of myself and the team, I would like to thank everyone who supported and grew with us over the past 12 years.
“Our regulars became part of the Thompson family, which meant the world. To all our staff past and present, thank you for all your hard work.
“It wasn’t always easy, but you truly made Thompson St Albans a chapter in my life that I will always be very proud to remember. Warmest regards, Phil.”
The restaurant will serve its diners for the final time on Saturday, October 18.
Customers will be able to enjoy a special, “closing menu” which features seven courses.
Restaurateur Phil hoped of one day opening his own restaurant when he was still cleaning pots in his uncle Mick’s kitchen.
He is originally from Essex, comes from a family of chefs, and began his career working in London and Hertfordshire.
While working at Brocket Hall’s Auberge du Lac, he earned two Michelin stars.
Phil’s goal became a reality in November 2013 when he established Thompsons, replacing the old Darcy’s restaurant.
Since then, it has become a citywide household name.
Customers will still have a chance of tasting the renowned chef’s cooking.
Phil has been advertising his home dining concept on the restaurant website.
He wrote: “I have already had the pleasure of cooking in the homes of some of our guests as their personal chef for the evening.
“Please book me for your special event, and I look forward to seeing you again very soon!”
