The 36-year-old, who was an illegal immigrant, was allegedly earning just over £3 an hour in the job, Birmingham Live reports. In his written record of inquest, then-assistant coroner James Bennett said: “The baler had become blocked due to overloading with cardboard. He fell into the machine, which then continued to operate.”The coroner listed a string of ‘contributory’ issues to the death. Both had been working at the work site for around three years. An inspection of the Liverpool Street site took place in May 2019, the HSE confirmed.
