A TREE surgeon whose hand was cut off in an attack featured on BBC show The Detectives has died.<\/p>\n

Tributes have been paid to the young man whose violent assault by a crime gang in Rochdale features in new BBC series The Detectives.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cameron, then 18, had to have his hand surgically reattached following the gruesome attack in 2017.<\/p>\n

Cops say his recent death is not being treated as suspicious.<\/p>\n

They say they will comment more after tonight's final episode of the three-part crime documentary shown on BBC Two.<\/p>\n

The new fly-on-the-wall series shows Greater Manchester Police's efforts to bring down an organised crime group known as "The Adam".<\/p>\n

The Detectives: Taking Down an OCG: What happened in Rochdale in 2017?<\/h3>\n

Members of the gang based on the Newbold Estate in Rochdale were said to be involved in the incident which inflicted life-changing injuries on Cameron in October 2017.<\/p>\n

He and four tree surgeon workmates were set upon after intervening in a road rage dispute on the estate, trying to help a member of the public.<\/p>\n

A trial later heard how Adam OCG member Habibur Rahman\u00a0felt ''disrespected'' and assembled a mob of up to 20 men.<\/p>\n

Among them was Mohammed Awais Sajid – also known as "Skinny" – who repeatedly wielded an axe at Cameron, who used his arm to try to fend off a blow aimed at his head.<\/p>\n

The victim had his hand reattached in life-saving surgery but needed five further ops over the next two years, Manchester's Minshull StreetCrown Court was told.<\/p>\n

Sajid was later jailed for 18 years after being convicted of Section 18 wounding.<\/p>\n

Rahman was put behind bars for four-and-a-half years on an assault charge after the court was told he used a knuckleduster to punch one of the other tree surgeons in the face, breaking his nose.<\/p>\n

The case features in the new BBC Two series, including how Cameron finally had his day in court. while the attack prompted further police efforts to dismantle the gang.<\/p>\n

There have now also been online tributes to the young tree surgeon after news of his death emerged.<\/p>\n

One local website told how his loss had "sent shockwaves through the Rochdale community".<\/p>\n

It said: "Cameron Brooksbank held a special place in the hearts of Rochdale\u2019s residents, as he was intricately woven into the town\u2019s history and an unwavering champion for its people.<\/p>\n

"Cameron\u2019s remarkable courage shone through when he triumphed over a traumatic assault in 2017.<\/p>\n

"Through sheer determination, he not only made a remarkable recovery but also emerged as a beacon of inspiration to fellow Rochdale residents."<\/p>\n

Cameron features in the new The Detectives series, recalling of the attack: "The first hit was on my left hand side just under my armpit – it went that far in, he had to yank it back out.<\/p>\n

"I felt something warm and wet – as I turned around I saw the axe was about here and I put my arm up.<\/p>\n

"The axe went through the top of my wrist and then it shattered my bone.<\/p>\n

"I remember absolutely every single second of that day."<\/p>\n

He also told of the devastating impact the attack had on his life, adding: "I am not the same person as I was two years ago and I don\u2019t think I ever will be."<\/p>\n
