EVERTON fan Michael Jones was crushed to death between a beam and machinery while building the new stadium, an inquest heard.
Michael, 26, was working as a ventilation engineer when he suffered head injuries on the construction site of Bramley Moore Dock in Liverpool, Merseyside.
He was rushed to Aintree Hospital after the horror incident but sadly could not be saved.
Michael, who was wearing a hard hat, had been working on a scissor ladder when he was caught between a beam and the machinery, the inquest was told.
A fellow worker noticed a lift had stopped working and raised the alarm after climbing on the top to release it, reports The Athletic.
