Whittaker was convicted of murdering two people at a house in Bridlington in 1999.
A double murderer who died in jail should have been considered for early release on compassionate grounds 10 years before his death, a report has found.
In September of that year, Whittaker was diagnosed with a chest infection and prescribed antibiotics, but on 27 September his breathing became laboured and he died. "Mr Whittaker became bedbound, due to his multiple sclerosis, in 2012. We saw no evidence that his eligibility for ERCG was considered at that time," she said.
