Rolf Harris: Serial abuser and ex-entertainer dies aged 93 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60393842

Disgraced former entertainer Rolf Harris, who was jailed for a series of indecent assaults on girls, has died aged 93.
Harris was found guilty of a string of indecent assaults between 1968 and 1986 following a trial in 2014 - and was jailed for five years and nine months.

He was released from prison in 2017 - but never apologised to his victims.

Before his crimes came to light, Harris had been a fixture of family entertainment in Britain and Australia.

According to his death certificate, which was registered on Tuesday, he died of neck cancer and "frailty of old age" at his home in Bray, Berkshire, on 10 May.

Moderator note: apologies, I don’t generally start threads in general discussion and forgot some of the rules for doing so.

There were sources noting a private ambulance went to his home around the 10-11th May so this makes sense.

Sensible. Whatever we think of him, at least his family and friends (or those who still speak to him) got to have a dignified service.

But “oh dear, how sad, never mind”
