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.

As reported by the Liverpool Echo, the workers had been unloading marble slabs when disaster struck.
