'Much-loved' dad who worked in agriculture tragically died after being crushed by tractor
12.05.2022 - 21:11 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A much-loved dad, who had a life-long background in farming and agriculture, tragically died after being crushed by a JCB tractor.
Stephen Rockett, 53, had gone to a nearby farm close to where he lived on May 6, 2021, to fix a JCB which had a fault with its gears.
The self-employed agricultural engineer and dad-of-four had been working alone, a jury inquest at Exeter's Crown Court heard on May 12, Devon Live reports.
He suffered fatal injuries when he reconnected some wiring causing him to be trapped by a rotating wheel of the digger.
Mr Rockett, who was born in North Tawton, was found to be unresponsive underneath the tractor, which still had its engine running, by an employee who had returned back to the farm.
An air ambulance arrived at the scene and the crew confirmed he has passed away.
An investigation concluded it was a ‘tragic accident’. A post mortem examination confirmed the cause of his death was crushed asphyxia. Mr Rockett’s wife told in a statement how he had worked in agricultural engineering since leaving school and had gone on to set up his own business. The jury heard it was ‘normal’ practice for him to attend jobs alone to fix agricultural machinery and vehicles.
Mrs Rockett said: “He would always do anything to help others and was very friendly with a lot of his customers.” On the day of his death, he had been tasked with fixing a digger belonging to a family friend he had known for many years and done much work for.
Mrs Rockett said: “I’m very shocked at what has happened. He was always safety conscious around his work.” She added: “He was not a risk-taker. I only hope this devastating incident occurred quickly meaning he did not suffer.”
