Mesothelioma Lawyer | Steve McQueen's Death from Mesothelioma Cancer

[ladyi7609]

Interesting how Steve McQueen died the same exact way and for the same exact reason that the guy who played Principal Richard Vernon from 1985's The Breakfast Club did. Like McQueen, the actor who played Vernon worked in shipyards as a young man before transitioning to acting. Then, some five or six years ago or so, he died of mesothelioma from all that early asbestos exposure. What an interesting coincidence.

Let's hear it for yet another wonderful triumph of American industry - the creation and widespread use of ASBESTOS! Yes, it's right up there with FLOURIDE in water and toothpaste, and NICOTINE tar in cigarettes. Hooray for the research and development arm of sales ingenuity of the good 'ol USA! They were truly miracle products, weren't they? Better living through chemistry!

[D3f11]

@themredweirdoshow You are so ignorant.. I won't even get into details.. But just for starters, america didn't create asbestos.. It's been used for a long time.. Hell, even the Roman's used it.

[michaeledith]

4.2 million dudes work in ship yards around U.S. and paul newman was one of them....In western australia there is place called wittnoon it use to be a mining town, the gov. closed the mine and the town..Blue asbestos was mine there, husbands, wifes and siblings who work or live there 2000 plus have been dianose with asbestosis are already dead or dying since 1980 to present day 2010. Hardies is name of the company, a court found Hardies guilty of knowing of the dangers they exposed to ppls

Steve looked about 90 when he died, so said his wife.

[PeterFirthFan]

Steve smoked too many cigarettes with the Micronite filter.

[WhiskeyRiverAZ]

Oh,and Steve DID NOT die of Aids.Even his last wife said so,dumb jerk.Gads!

[WhiskeyRiverAZ]

to joeo78501 and ObamaRules4Ever::

Your comments are cruel and vile,not to mention untrue.This man was an icon,and no one cares whether you like him or not.If you dont like him,just take off.Your words are an indication of who you are.

[johnsmdm]

they're now sayin Obama blows rods....shit.

[ObamaRules4Ever]

Thought McQueer died of AIDS.

[godadameve]

ObamaRules4Ever: Get Obama's dick out of your ass and out of your mouth for a few minutes so you can think straight Mutherfucker! Steve McQueen was a COOL actor and Humanitarian, what the fuck are you? Just an Obama ASS-KISSER? You fuckin' MAGGOT.

[ObamaRules4Ever]

I agree with Robert Mitchum - the talentless little loser McQueer only got parts in movies by working as a rent boy.

[mesotheliomablog]

I´m creating a blog about mesothelioma to help you to find information. God bless you.

[displayfireworks1]

I heard Steve wore an asbestos type mask when he was a race driver. He used to wet it and wear it across his mouth on hot days. Poor guy, he was a mans man. I always loved his movies when I was a teenager.

[ObamaRules4Ever]

He was a good 5'7" bisexual wife beating druggie loser.

[wannabeangusyoung]

he was never bisexual...

he was a druggie...

it never affected his career...

yet you have the nerve to call him a loser?

his movies are still loved and revered even 29 years after his dead...and so's he

who's going to remember you apart from your family?

[ObamaRules4Ever]

McQueen was a talentless bisexual rent boy and I'm glad he died of AIDS at only 50.

[freespeachrulez]

You dipshit, he didn't die of aids, and wasn't bisexual. BTW Obama sucks just incase you didn't get the notice. But you know what? It is easy to put down others. Hiding behind a username that glorifies a man who can't even figure out how to run this country. Yeah, your a real winner.

[ObamaRules4Ever]

McQueen often had sex with men, especially if they were bikers or race car drivers. He had a tumultuous sexual relationship with James Dean, and a longer love/hate affair with Paul Newman. Other sexual liaisons developed with Peter Lawford, Sal Mineo, Rock Hudson, Chuck Connors, and George Peppard

[wannabeangusyoung]

you dumb fuck he was never a bisexual and never did have sex with men

and he died of asbestos exposure

[ObamaRules4Ever]

McQueen was a bisexual RENT BOY who only got in films by having anal and oral sex with men. No wonder he died of AIDS at only 50.

[wannabeangusyoung]

he died of asbestos

everyone in the world with half a brain cell knows that and every book on him says that (and every bio on him NEVER says that he was gay or bisexual).

you've just proved that you're a homophobic jealous little boy who just like to argue by using a keyboard. nice one

[ObamaRules4Ever]

Read the new biography coming out this year, rent boy Stevie died of AIDS.

[wannabeangusyoung]

and you believe it?

go back to ur little world rent boy

anyway im sick of wasting my time so cya

[joeo78501]

His drinking and drugs affected his life, his macho mysoginstic mood swings wrecked his life & those around him. In the long run all you need is your family. You have swallowed Hollywood PR bullshit. Do not place to much emphasis on pop culture. Alot of these characters are pathetic narcisstic neurotic empty people who live shallow but indulgent hedonistic materialistic lives.

[nor888vast695]

Of course all those things happened to him. Some environmental poisoning caused his disease; but drinking & drugs DID NOT cause his death. Asbestos killed him. All of that other you are refering to is BS. So you've got a good vocab I do too but most people could care less about how many words you know rather what can YOU do to make the world safer, cleaner and an all round good place to live. There's no law against having a good time either. You sound like you need some SERIOUS fun.

[joeo78501]

nor888: I have plenty of fun. How he lived his life or how you live yours is not BS. (always affects others) There are laws against spousal abuse, assault, DUI on and on. Reason laws exist is because people do care how others behave. Many who uverindulge in drugs, alcohol & sadistic behaviors are dead souls long before they die.

[nclusiau]

Get a life man.You don't know what you're talking about.

[Quiznite]

There are 2 tyoes if fibres yes ,,Both can cuase terminal illness. The fibres are not hook shaped. The amphobole fibres whch are most dangerous are perfectly straight.

[mikemosocw]

i contracted this disease but unlike steve mcqueen, i shrugged it off, it happens!

[spbully]

for now it can strike fifty years from now

[mikemosocw]

it is fifty years from now..

[SIM754]

At the same time asbestos fibres are being looked for possible lung cancers, it might be as well important to look at some radioactive elements being prisoned in those same asbestos fibres. Most of my researches have been done to find if very little radioactive sources could be inducing cancers after a certain time. Cigarette makers have refused to participate to my researches as well as Quebec nuclear plant ownners. I think I am working in the good direction and if it could be helping why not

[instigatethechange]

Does anyone know whether white asbestos dust is visible or invisible? I know that asbestos fibres are invisible to the naked eye, but if one was to disturb white asbestos powder then would you actually see the dust as it was being disturbed, or is the dust itself also completely invisible to the naked eye?

[fr277]

if you can see what you breathe it is asbestos with something else.there are two kinds of asbestos fibers.Only one is lethal.

[ptrekker]

Wrong.

[HAMFARPICTURES]

why wrong ?

[ptrekker]

all asbestos can cause disease. Amphibole's more dangerous but chrysotile kills too,

[fr277]

and if one would disturb asbestos powder?nothing would happen because that would mean that this powder is billion of fibers tuck together,unable to fly in the air. To be lethal the fiber as to be alone. It looks like a hook.Its shape makes it impossible to be taken out. there are asbestos fibers in the air, from nature.the lethal limits where u get 100% chance to breathe one is: 5 fibers per liters of air.

[utkonos313]

If I get mesothelioma can I sue his estate? He was happy to pick up his pay check and expose innocent third parties to asbestos he is just as guilty as the corporations.

[zberlin32]

who cares. I know a man that lost his arm and won millions in settlement. he said i'd give back all the money to get my arm back. too bad you're looking at a big check. What about the human element?

[Diablorosa]

white powder of one sort or another was to blame.
