Merlin Olsen dies of mesothelioma

Posted on March 12th, 2010 No Comments

Merlin Olsen, one of the strongest NFL players in history, died of mesothelioma cancer on March 11, 2010 at the age of 69.

An NFL Hall of Famer, televison actor and comedian lost his battle with mesothelioma, which his family claims he developed from exposure to asbestos. His family thinks that it was during his acting career that he was exposed to asbestos and led to the development of mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer that is caused by asbestos materials being lodged in a person's lung.

In December 2009, his family filed suit against multiple companies, including NBC studios. Olsen also claimed that he was exposed to asbestos during his younger years working as a manual laborer after school.

 If you or someone you love has been developed mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease after being exposed to asbestos on the job, contact the mesothelioma lawyers of Williams Kherkher by calling 800-781-3955.
