Leading firefighters from across the country have paid tribute to Wayne Brown, the West Midlands Fire Chief, who was found dead at his home amidst an investigation into allegations that he had falsified his CV, claiming to hold a master’s degree and having played for Charlton Athletic, to secure his £180,000-a-year position.
Wayne Brown had been appointed as the Chief of West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority just last year, impressing authorities with his supposed Master of Business Administration degree from London South Bank University. However, an investigation was initiated after the university stated it had no record of his degree. Following this revelation, Wayne Brown promptly removed references to the university from his LinkedIn profile.
