No charges for safety violations after death of Pinoy
No charges will be filed for safety failures that caused an elevator to crush to death a Filipino seaman aboard the "Moonray" on May 22, 2016. A coroner ruled that the death was an accident. Gerome Reyes, 26, died after the ship had left Southampton bound for Lithuania. Reyes, from Batangas, Philippines, was found crushed between the top of a goods lift and the underside of a deck. A police investigation was launched but no action was taken against the ship’s owners. At an inquest, the lawyer for the Philippine Embassy, Dr Anton van Dellen, submitted an argument for unlawful killing by gross negligence. Coroner Grahame Short, however, said there was no basis to support the argument that there was a case: “This was an accidental death, albeit a tragic accident. Mr. Reyes either forgot or more likely inadvertently touched the green start button as he reached for the contents of the lift, and was dragged into it."
