Police have named a 37-year-old man who died in an explosion at a pie factory in Huddersfield on Friday.

David Cole, from the Salterhebble area of Halifax, died when the blast at Andrew Jones Pies brought down part of the roof and started a fire.

Another man, named locally as Marcus Cartwright, 23, remains in a critical condition in hospital but was said by a company offical to be "on the mend".

Sales manager Graham Easby said Mr Cartwright was not "out of the wood".

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said Mr Cole was one of seven men who were working in the factory before the explosion.

Andrew Jones is an award-winning pie-maker offering a range of savoury pies and pasties. The company supplies butchers, farm shops, sandwich shops and other retailers.

The Health and Safety Executive is investigating the explosion, which is not regarded as suspicious.
