He had been jailed for 15 years for historic sex offences
A convicted sex offender who died after being told he had less than two weeks to live did not receive healthcare equivalent to that he would have been given in the community.
Price had been diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2017 and while on remand at Altcourse Prison in Liverpool doctors noted significant testicular swelling. In October 2020 Price reported feeling breathless and was experiencing pain while urinating.A series of referrals were made for Price in 2022 but he failed to attend several hospital and GP appointments.
A report published by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman this month revealed that the care Price received was not equivalent to that he would have received in the community. All deaths in prison are investigated by the ombudsman in order to ensure that any issues around the care the deceased person received in custody are raised and importantly that any lessons to be learned are highlighted and shared.
