lift death chelmsford

[vabbott]

Hi
I have another query please for any one who has access to Chelmsford records
I am looking for the burial records for Frederick Arthur Hills who came from Lewisham but was killed in an accident in a lift shaft whilst working at LLoyds bank in Chelmsford. This was in July 16th 1971 However I cant find a burial for him anywhere and I am also lost as to when to start looking. There probably was an inquest so he may not have been buried immediately but I have looked in Chelmsford and Lewisham without success so Helppppppppppp please
Ronnei

I worked for Lloyds Bank back then too,and we had all manner of repair men in on a daily basis.
Maybe he fell into the lift shaft by accident whilst being near to the opened door?
Or was putting equipment in to move it to a different floor and somehow fell in or the lift moved?

If it was the bank's fault his family would have got compensation of course.
