A TREDEGAR man who died following an accident at a sawmills has been named.
The inquest into the death of Roman Grzegorz Kokot was opened and adjourned by Herefordshire Coroner’s Court last week.
The 32-year-old man died following an accident at Pontrilas Sawmills, in Hereford, on December 20, when emergency services were called to the sawmills to reports of an industrial incident.
A coroner’s officer said Grzegorz Kokot was a sawmill worker and lived in Heather Close, in Sirhowy, Tredegar. He was from Poland.
The accident is the subject of a joint police and Health and Safety Executive investigation.
The ambulance service said the man had become trapped beneath a large piece of machinery. He was confirmed dead at the scene.
