A builder has died after being overcome by toxic fumes during refurbishment work at a house in Notting Hill, London.
Medics battled to save him on the street after he was dragged from the five-storey property by firefighters on Tuesday.
Another worker on a neighbouring site told The Daily Mail: “We were working here yesterday and I saw him being pulled out by the fire brigade.
“I spoke to another builder and he said it was toxic fumes or something like that. The builder was standing over the road and he said they were cleaning paint off bricks or something.”
