Cameron Hancel was dismissed from his job after the incident came to light
A now-former firefighter has admitted taking a photograph of a dead man at the scene of a crash. Cameron Hancel, 33, pleaded guilty at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Tuesday to misconducting himself in public office while working for West Midlands Fire Service on March 13 last year by taking a photo of the victim and sending it to others.
The court heard he was of good character and had never been in trouble before. Judge Talog Davies accepted a request from Hancel's defence to adjourn sentencing for a pre-sentence report to be compiled by probation officers.
