As a Matter of Law: Steve McQueen’s Mesothelioma Diagnosis and Asbestos Exposure
Many are aware that famous movie actor, Steve McQueen, died of cancer. But few are aware he actually had a mesothelioma diagnosis. As most are also not aware, Steve McQueen worked in a shipyard as a young man — where he was likely exposed to asbestos.

Asbestos exposure is the only well established cause of mesothelioma. Asbestos exposure is also known to cause lung cancer and colon cancer. A mesothelioma diagnosis occurs many years after asbestos exposure, and may not develop for more than 50 years after the first asbestos exposure.
