ITV Coronation Street teases truth to Les Battersby's death as Chesney makes chilling find

A shocking death twist could be on the horizon in Coronation Street, following Friday's announcement of Les Battersby's demise. The beloved character was tragically written out of the show last night (November 29), leaving his daughters Leanne and Toyah heartbroken.

Chesney Brown, Les' stepson, was also left reeling from the news. The police arrived at Leanne's home to deliver the devastating news that her father had been killed at work, where he was employed at an abattoir, reports the Mirror.

The details surrounding his death were not disclosed, with investigations still ongoing. As Leanne, Toyah, and Chesney reminisced about Les, they struggled to come to terms with his loss.

Towards the end of the episode, Chesney was seen tearfully speaking to a photograph of Les, mourning his estranged stepfather. However, a new spoiler suggests there may be more to Les' death than meets the eye, hinting at a possible cover-up. Could Les have been murdered, or was someone directly or indirectly responsible for the soap legend's death?,

This theory gains traction as Chesney makes a startling discovery during Les' will reading next week. As he convenes with his stepsiblings and sister Fiz Brown, a surprising revelation is made: the abattoir where Les worked has offered £50k in compensation for his death, on the condition that all parties sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Is this an attempt to safeguard the company's reputation, or could it be a ploy to conceal someone's guilt?

Although the circumstances surrounding Les' death seem straightforward, there are hints that something more sinister may be at play. Chesney, in particular, is sceptical and may decide to investigate further, but this could put him in harm's way.

Following the will reading, Chesney confides in his mother-in-law, Bernie Winter, about the compensation and the non-disclosure agreement he and the others are being asked to sign. Bernie shares his concerns and urges him to dig deeper into the circumstances surrounding Les' death, convinced that there may be more to the accident than initially meets the eye.

As Chesney begins to investigate, he may uncover some surprising information, but what secrets will he unearth, and what really happened to Les?

Some viewers have expressed scepticism about the official story, finding it "too convenient" that Les died suddenly at work with little explanation. Others have speculated that this mystery might be connected to another plot thread involving Chesney, who has been having encounters with a mysterious van driver.
