An inquest into the death of Michael Jones, 26, heard that he died after the incident at the Bramley-Moore Dock construction site

An Everton fan who died while working on the construction of the new stadium was killed when the machine when he was working on trapped him against a beam in the stadium.

An inquest into the death of Michael Jones, 26, heard that he died after the incident at the Bramley-Moore Dock construction site on Monday August 14. Michael, from Kirkby, was a lifelong Everton fan whose middle name was Goodison, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Although he was rushed to Aintree Hospital after being injured on the site, he died shortly afterwards. The inquest into Michael’s death was opened at the Gerard Majella Courthouse in Liverpool today (Wednesday).

Mr Rebello said a post-mortem examination has been carried out and a report from the pathologist will be available after toxicology results.

He said: “I don’t think there is any concern there may have been any substances in Mr Jones at the time of the incident, but in a case of this nature toxicology is taken routinely.”

The coroner adjourned the inquest into Michael’s death until February 29, 2024.
