Paedophile and former Radio 1 DJ Chris Denning has died in prison while serving two 13-year sentences.
The friend of Jimmy Savile was in prison after being convicted of sex offences against boys as young as eight. He died aged 81 in hospital from diabetes last year but it has only just been disclosed in a prison watchdog report.
He was held at HMP Bedford at the time of his death last June. Denning died from a bone infection caused by diabetes.
A clinical reviewer for the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman found: "When clinical readings first showed that Mr Denning needed emergency care, he was not transferred to hospital for treatment." The reviewer claimed the care he received in custody was "worse" than he could have expected to receive as a free man.
The report stayed it found "issues of concern in Mr Denning's end of life care."
Denning was jailed in 2006 after admitting five charges of abusing boys under 16 and put in prison for four years. After the case, he was extradited to Slovakia and sentenced to five years for producing indecent images of children.
