Like all fatal illnesses, mesothelioma does not discriminate. Indeed, the asbestos-related cancer can strike anyone.
For example, in 1980 Hollywood hardman Steve McQueen finally succumbed to the illness, which it is likely he developed as a result of exposure to lagging while serving in the US Marines.
Again, even being an Olympic gold medallist is not enough to make a person immune from the insidious pathophysiology of the disease. This was something Terry McCann, winner of the wrestling gold medal at the 1960 Rome Olympics, discovered when he was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2005.
Once diagnosed, McCann, a natural hero in whatever he lent his talents to, whether it was wrestling, business or surfing, campaigned to ensure that the sufferers of asbestos-related diseases retained the right to sue for 100% compensation, even going as far as to record a television advertisement shortly before his death in which he called for citizens to lobby congress on the issue.
But it is not only in the United States that high profile people have been struck by the fatal illness. Here in Europe, many political, cultural and sporting figures have gone the same way as McQueen and McCann.
For example, in 2008 Scottish MP William McDougall died after a two year battle with the illness, while in 2007 the Irish folk singer Christie Hennessy died in a London hospice; it is thought Hennessy contracted the illness as a result of exposure suffered while working on construction sites while in his 20s.
