Body identified in Didcot power station rubble
A body that was found in the rubble at Didcot power station has been identified, more than six months after the power station collapsed.
Father of one, Christopher Huxtable, 34, from Swansea was found in the ruins of the collapsed building last Wednesday.
Four people died when the plant exploded and collapsed on 23 February.
The body of Michael Collings, 53, from Teeside, was recovered from the site on the day.
John Shaw, 61, and Ken Cresswell, 57, both from Rotherham, still remain missing.
A Guard of Honour marked the removal of Christopher’s body and included representatives from the families of the missing men, Thames Valley Police, Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue, RWE and Coleman and Company.
Swansea East MP Carolyn Harris, who has been involved with the family since the incident, said they still did not know all the facts of the collapse.
She said: “I feel very sad. My heart and my prayers go out to the family who have waited desperately for Christopher’s body to be found. They can finally have closure, and say goodbye to him and grieve his loss.
“But let’s not forget that there are two other families who are still waiting for their loved ones to be returned.”
