An investigation has been launched after a man died at a building site.

Kassir Uddin from Luton passed away after a wall collapsed at the site in Hagden Lane, Watford, on January 24.

The Health and Safety Executive has today (February 8) confirmed to the Watford Observer that it is now looking into the incident.

A spokesperson added that they do not know how long the inquiry will last.

It comes shortly after Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) confirmed that the man who died was Mr Uddin.

HCC also said that its coroners service has started an inquest into his death.

It is thought he ran his own construction business City Group Renovations.

On the day of the incident, emergency services were called to reports that a man had been injured on site at around 10.18am.

But it was later confirmed that Mr Uddin, 35, had died at the scene.

In response to his death a fundraising page was set up to donate to the charity Sadaqah Jaariyah, which helps communities overseas in need of fresh water and food. A total of £12,417.18 was raised.

Many people who donated paid tribute to Mr Uddin saying how much he would be missed.
