The 'immense bravery' of tragic man who helped bring down Manchester gang

A man who was found dead six years after being viciously attacked with an axe has been commended for his 'immense bravery' in helping to bring down a criminal gang.

His tragic death comes six years after the axe attack survivor was subjected to a brutal assault that he said 'completely changed his life' and meant he was no longer 'the same person'. At the time of the attack, Cameron was just a teenager working as a tree surgeon when he intervened in a road rage incident in Rochdale in 2017, attempting to restore peace.

Giving evidence at the inquest, Cameron’s grandad Fred Higgin said the attack had a 'profound impact' on his grandson’s life, adding: "He never got over the event, none of us did. He was devastated by that axe attack. He would never get himself back." Following his death, a spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police told the M.E.N: "Cameron’s immense bravery captured the nation’s heart and helped to bring justice criminals who were a serious risk to the community.
