A Nottinghamshire joiner died after an 'absolutely tragic accident' in his workshop. Jack Skill died aged 30 after being struck by a heavy piece of wood in his workshop on Blidworth Lane, Blidworth, on February 22, 2022.
The self-employed worker was found after 7pm next to the lathe in his workshop and died at the scene, despite attempts at CPR. An inquest at the Council House in Nottingham heard he had died after the wood he was working on split and hit him.
This caused a significant traumatic injury to his head, lacerations to his forehead, and 'very clear' skull fractures. Assistant coroner for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, Fiona Gingell, resuming the inquest on Thursday (January 12), heard from DC Nathan Bingham, of Nottinghamshire Police, the officer on the case, and explored the findings of Jack's post mortem.
