Promising Signs of Life Detected on Distant Planet K2-18b

The family of Kevin Holding, a 60-year-old maintenance engineer who died in a tragic accident in Soho, London, is seeking answers regarding the circumstances of his death. Holding was crushed by a hydraulic urinal while conducting maintenance work on January 27, 2023. An inquest revealed a delay of over two hours for a crane to arrive to lift the urinal off him, with officials attributing his death to compression asphyxia. His daughter, Karlie Holding, expressed frustration with the lack of progress in the investigation, stating, “We want actions now,” and called the situation “disgusting” and “disrespectful” to their family. The Metropolitan Police are still investigating the incident, with Det Ch Insp Dean Purvis apologizing to the family for the ongoing impact. The urinals, designed to deter street urination, have been used in central London since 2002. The Health and Safety Executive is also assisting in the investigation, which has drawn criticism for its length and apparent lack of urgency.
