Michael Isherwood left a hand written note shortly before he died to his sister “Mud sticks. No coming back from these allegations.” The 51-year-old inspecting engineer as Vauxhall’s car factory in Merseyside had been accused by a 16-year-old girl of secretly filming her on his phone.
The devastated Isherwood tried to overdose on paracetamol in a failed attempt to kill himself. Days later he was found dead in his car after gassing himself. Now the family are asking the police to prosecute people making false allegations. “An innocent life has been lost because of an entirely false claim. Innocent people are being hurt. The police are leaning too far towards believing everyone who makes these allegations.” said Ken Isherwood of Prenton, Merseyside, father of Michael.
