A drum maker who inhaled anthrax spores while working with imported animal skins died yesterday. Fernando Gomez, 35, from Hackney, east London, had been treated at the Homerton University Hospital since being taken ill last week. Mr Gomez’s flat was sealed off by the Health Protection Agency for examination and his workshop will be checked to identify from where the anthrax originated.
