A POLICE investigation into an demolition site accident which cost the life of a Bradford father-of-three has been completed.

Andy Hagan, 35, suffered multiple injuries when a lintel fell on him during work to pull down the Deighton Centre in Huddersfield on April 28 last year.

He died at Leeds General Infirmary on May 5 with his family at his bedside after they gave permission for doctors to turn off a life support machine.

Mr Hagan, of Little Horton Lane, Little Horton, worked as a demolition worker at Gill Demolitions Ltd, based at Progress Works, Hall Lane, Bradford.

He was one of a number of contractors who were carrying out demolition work at the former school turned training centre in Deighton Road, Huddersfield.

A probe into his death by West Yorkshire Police has concluded and the files have now been passed to the Coroner.

Detective Sergeant Damian Roebuck, of Kirklees CID, said: "The police investigation into the industrial accident at a demolition site in Deighton Road, Huddersfield, on April 28, 2015, has now concluded.

"A file has been submitted to the Coroner."

But the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) added its investigation will not be closed until an inquest has been completed and it has followed all reasonable lines of inquiry.

Now, 12 months on from the tragedy, Mr Hagan's devastated mother, Norma O'Brien, 58, has revealed her family's continuing heartache as they wait for answers about his death.

She said: "We can't move forward, until we know what's happened.

"I know it was an accident but it's just a strain on everybody in the family. It's been absolutely terrible.

"I'm still looking for answers. I want answers to why he went to work and never came home.

"I feel I can't grieve properly until I know what happened.

"It is unbelievable how it has still affected us all 12 months on. We feel like we can't move on yet.

"It's been the worst year of my life.

"We have been hit from pillar to post. I'm still in a daze. We will get there.

"I want to bury his ashes but I can't until I find out what happened to Andy. Then we can put him to rest.

"The last year has been awful. I did not think your life could get affected so much from losing someone.

"The support from people has been unbelievable. There is R.I.P Andy Hagan written everywhere in Little Horton."

Mrs O'Brien said she had to move from her home in Basil Street, Little Horton, to School Lane, Wibsey, and is on anti-depressants following her son's death.

She added he would have become a grandfather in December last year as his daughter Georgia, 18, gave birth to daughter Remyah.

He was also a father to Megan and Alfie who were aged 16 and six at the time of his death.

His inquest was opened and adjourned at Bradford Coroners' Court in May last year.

A date for the resumption of the hearing has yet to be set.
