The former celebrity publicist Max Clifford has died aged 74.
The British Ministry of Justice has confirmed his death.
The 74-yr-old collapsed twice at Littlehey Prison in Cambridgeshire, where he was imprisoned for eight years for historic sex offences against four girls aged 15 to 19.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Justice confirmed Clifford died in hospital on December 10.
“As with all deaths in custody, there will be an investigation by the independent Prisons and Probation Ombudsman,” the spokesman said.
“Our condolences are with Mr Clifford’s family at this difficult time.”
