Suppose a compact skeleton embeds as . Attach a disk by and extend its boundary coordinate map radially by . Map the disk to and to . The boundary identifications agree; a positive last coordinate recovers each interior point. This defines a continuous injection of the compact quotient into Euclidean space, hence an embedding. Repeating proves Hausdorffness and Euclidean embeddability for every finite CW complex, without assuming triangulability of arbitrary attaching maps.
