Inquest into bin truck death begins
Source: Materials Recycling Week
An inquest has begun into the death of a teacher who was found among rubbish at a Brighton waste transfer site in July last year.
It is thought Scott Williams, a maths teacher from New Zealand, climbed inside a wheelie bin to shelter from the rain. The bin was then picked up by a dust cart and dumped at a Sussex landfill site owned by Sussex Waste Recycling later that morning.
A post mortem examination revealed 35-year-old Williams died from crush injuries.
Hove Crown Court showed Williams’ last known moments captured on CCTV. The BBC reported the footage showed the man escorting a female friend to a taxi rank in the early morning of July 12.
His flatmate confirmed at the inquest that he had spent the night drinking with Williams in The Lanes area in Brighton.
The two men had driven down to Brighton from their London flat with the intention of driving back later that day. But they decided to stay in Brighton because they had no other particular arrangements that evening.
