LATEST NEWS & EVENTS Malcolm McLaren's death linked to asbestos exposure  There has been speculation that Malcolm McLaren's death may have been related to exposure to asbestos. The former Sex Pistols manager, recording artist and businessman lost his battle with cancer earlier this month. He was 64 when he succumbed to mesothelioma, which is one of a number of conditions associated with previous exposure to asbestos - along with pleural plaques and asbestosis, among other things. Speaking to the Independent On Sunday, his partner Young Kim said a shop he used to manage may have had the insulating material in its ceiling, which he broke open to make it look as though a bomb had hit it. "I always suspected that shop because it was the only place Malcolm ever really spent any serious length of time in and there was a lot of construction and changing things. She added that she was "very angry" that a doctor had ignored the first signs of the condition and revealed she may take legal action over the issue.
