Two men cautioned after death of Chesterfield cabbie William Taylor at Manchester Airport

Police caution two men as post mortem result revealed

Two men have been cautioned following the death of a taxi driver at Manchester Airport.

William Brent Taylor, 57, known to friends as Brent, is understood to have fallen ill on April 6 after an altercation in the multi-storey car park at Terminal Two.

The grandfather, who was waiting to collect passengers at the time, was rushed to hospital following the incident and later died.

Police were called to reports of an assault at around 8.25am, an investigation was launched and two men, aged 25 and 55, were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter.

However, Greater Manchester Police issued a statement on Wednesday to say that the two men have now been cautioned for threatening behaviour under Section 4 of the Public Order Act.

A spokesman added: “A post mortem examination has now taken place and concluded that there was no evidence of physical assault or injury that contributed to William’s death.

“An inquest into William’s death will take place.”

No more details about the incident were released by GMP.

Mr Taylor, who lived in Holmewood in the Derbyshire town, worked for private hire firm A-Line Taxis.

Described as ‘one of the nicest people you could have met’, his family are said to have been left devastated by his death.

Mr Taylor’s colleagues, meanwhile, said he was an ‘amazing and lovely’ man.

A spokesman for A-Line Taxis said last month: “He was with the company for quite a while.

“He was always up for a laugh, he was so funny.

“He always helped out when he could. He was one of the nicest people you could have met.”

A poignant final post on his Facebook page read: “Just dropped off at East Midlands now sat at Manchester waiting for the plain [sic] to land living the dream xx.”

A caution for an offence that could in some circumstances lead to 6 months in prison.

Loads of lads round here don't do Manchester Airport anymore due to the parking fiasco. The same will happen at EMA you mark my words, they are owned by the same group that own Manchester Airport.
