TRIBUTES have been paid to a young father who died in an industrial accident.
Thomas Telfer, 31 and from Weymouth, has been named as the man who tragically died in an industrial accident in Lyme Regis earlier this week.
He died when concrete blocks landed on him as he was working on a building site in Somers Road, off the A3052 on Tuesday afternoon.
His family have now paid tribute to him.
They said: "It is with deep sorrow and sadness that we confirm Thomas died following a tragic accident whilst at work on Tuesday.
"He was much-loved husband to Jo and father to Clara and Penny, a beloved son of Lorraine and brother to Michael and Kirstie.
"Thomas will always be a shining light in the many lives he touched and his light will continue to shine through his children."
