A construction worker fell to his death from a cherry picker while building a milking parlour, an inquest has heard — and his widow was not informed until she got to the site in an "appalling" miscommunication.
Peter Chilcott, 62, died on November 4, 2021, following the tragic accident at Higher Trestrayle Farm, near Probus, Cornwall.
Opening the inquest, senior coroner for Cornwall Andrew Cox described how Mr Chilcott had run his own business specialising in the construction of agricultural buildings for years.
