He died in prison from pancreatic cancer.
A Milton Keynes murderer died in prison from cancer 16 years into his 25-year sentence.
And an independent investigation into his death released its findings today (Monday), stating that there were no issues about the healthcare he got while in jail.
Malcolm Bull, 53, was sentenced for his role in the savage death of fellow rider Gerry Tobin.
Bull was serving his sentence at HMP Stocken in Rutland. He died in September of last year at the age of 68 from pancreatic cancer, which had progressed to his liver, lungs, and lymph nodes. He had been moved to a hospice before his death.
The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman carries out independent investigations into deaths, due to any cause, of prisoners, young people in detention, residents of approved premises and detainees in immigration centres. This is to ensure the standard of care received has been appropriate and there have been no failures.
The report, published today, states: “The PPO family liaison officer wrote to Mr Bull’s next of kin to explain the investigation and to ask if they had any matters, they wanted us to consider. No response was received to our letter.
It adds: “NHS England commissioned an independent clinical reviewer to review Mr Bull’s clinical care at HMP Stocken. She concluded that the clinical care Mr Bull received at Stocken was of a good standard and was was equivalent to that which would have been received in the wider community.”
No non-clinical issues of concern were found,
At an inquest held this month, the coroner concluded that Bull died of natural causes.
