Nigel Pipe was three months into a 26-year jail term after being found guilty of multiple offences
An ex-teacher convicted of sexually abusing pupils died in hospital after contracting Covid-19 in HMP Nottingham, a coroner has said.
Despite noting the concern, Dr Liz Didcock, assistant coroner for Nottinghamshire, said she could not say if Pipe's death could have been avoided if he was offered shielding.The hearing was told Pipe suffered from prostate cancer, heart failure and poor mobility. After an assessment, an ambulance was called and Pipe was taken to Queen Medical Centre before being transferred to City Hospital, where he died.Dr Didcock said: "There was no discussion with Nigel in terms of risk of Covid-19 development and the offer of shielding was not made to him following his arrival at HMP Nottingham.
"I find even if this guidance was not followed in this respect, I cannot make a finding regarding this, and equally I cannot say on the contrary that Nigel's death could have been avoided."During the case, the jury heard he committed the offences in his 30s while living at Skegby Hall with his wife.
