Ronald Curran, 83, who had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease, died while serving his third prison sentence for abusing children
Paedophile dies in jail from illness that left him 'choking' and 'unable to breathe'
A paedophile died in prison just months into his 15 year sentence after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease, which left him "choking and struggling to breathe".
It was the third time former scout master Ronald Curran had been jailed for abusing children.
The 83-year-old was said to have used dogs and ice cream to "trap" children before abusing them.
Victims told a court how he'd ruined their childhoods, while one cried himself to sleep.
Curran was jailed at Newcastle Crown Court last year, reports Chronicle Live.
Within nine days of arriving at the prison, he visited the HMP Durham GP with left shoulder pain, as well as "trouble controlling his bowels".
By May, a Prisons and Probation Ombudsman report reveals that Curran "was seen choking and struggling to breathe".
After tests, including a CT scan, Curran was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND).

Doctors told him there was "no cure".
The new report reveals wheelchair-bound Curran asked to die in prison following the diagnosis as he wanted to be surrounded by staff that knew him.
The pensioner, formerly of Mead Way, Forest Hall, North Tyneside, was jailed for four years in 1995 and in 2013.
After his second prison stint, five more youngsters came forward to reveal they had also been abused in the 70s and 80s.
Victims, as young as six at the time, suffered "severe psychological harm" at the hands of Curran, once seen as a respectable member of the community due to his role with the scouts.
"In reality, his lifestyle, hobbies and interests were designed to bring him into contact with children in order that he could sexually abuse them," said prosecutor Daniel Cordey.
One victim added: "He ruined part of my childhood that I can't get back.
"No apology, remorse or sentence can change that."
By last August, Curran's health had deteriorated to the point he asked not to be resuscitated if he stopped breathing.
"On 13 December, Mr Curran was given a life expectancy of less than three months," adds the new report.
"Mr Curran said that he would like to make an application to be released on compassionate grounds.
"However, on 19 December, Mr Curran changed his mind and said that he would prefer to die in prison with staff who knew him. "
Two days before Christmas, a nurse went to check on him. She found no pulse and Curran was declared dead, with motor neurone disease listed as the cause of death.
He was the 19th HMP Durham prisoner to have died since 2017.
Assistant ombudsman Louise Richards said she had no concerns over his death, with her report adding: "The clinical care Mr Curran received was of a good standard and equivalent to that which he could have expected to receive in the community."

thedailymirror--2020-05-30--Take That star Mark Owen compared to Tiger King Joe Exotic and Keith Lemon

Mark Owen has been compared to Tiger King Joe Exotic and TV presenter Keith Lemon .
Take That wowed fans this week with a virtual gig but it was Mark 's appearance that caught attention .
For the concert Mark sported a moustache , flamboyant yellow floral shirt with bright lemon-coloured trousers and a cream fedora .
And many thought Mark , who performed Shine with help from a step ladder in his garage , looked a lot like the big cat keeper from the Netflix series .
One fan wrote : `` Why does Mark Owen now look like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he looked like Celeb Juice host Keith , and said : `` # TakeThat great stuff !
Mark Owen looks like a grey Keith Lemon . ''
Another said : `` Was that Keith Lemon doing an impression of Mark Owen on Meerkat Music tonight or Mark Owen doing an impression of you ?
?
? ''
And Mark was also compared to X Factor icon Wagner .
A fan wrote : `` Why is Wagner from the X Factor singing with Take That instead of Mark Owen ? ''
While another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said : `` Mark Owen has turned into Wagner during lockdown # TakeThat . ''
Mark joined his bandmates Gary Barlow , 49 , Robbie Williams , 46 , and Howard Donald , 52 , for the YouTube gig .
But fifth member Jason Orange remained absent from the band , after leaving following their 2010 album Progress .
Robbie made a late entrance and joked about how he was reluctant to join his bandmates in 2006 .
He said : `` More importantly , I 'm here now .
Last time , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Robbie joined the trio for performances of hits such as Back For Good , The Flood , Pray and Never Forget .
Robbie quit the band in 1995 , but later returned to it when they performed at The X Factor final in 2018 .
When Jason left the band in statement he said : `` He said : `` I want to start by saying how proud I am of what we have achieved together over the years .
However , at a band meeting last week I confirmed to Mark , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do not wish to commit to recording and promoting a new album . ''

Take That see each other for the first time in years but where is Jason Orange?

Mark set tongues wagging when he sported a moustache and flamboyant yellow floral shirt for a Take That virtual gig
Take That star Mark Owen compared to Tiger King Joe Exotic and Keith Lemon
Mark Owen has been compared to Tiger King Joe Exotic and TV presenter Keith Lemon.
Take That wowed fans this week with a virtual gig but it was Mark's appearance that caught attention.
For the concert Mark sported a moustache, flamboyant yellow floral shirt with bright lemon-coloured trousers and a cream fedora.
And many thought Mark, who performed Shine with help from a step ladder in his garage, looked a lot like the big cat keeper from the Netflix series.
One fan wrote: "Why does Mark Owen now look like Tiger King extra?"

Another said: "Mark Owen thinks he's Joe Exotic."
Others joked that he looked like Celeb Juice host Keith, and said: "#TakeThat great stuff! Mark Owen looks like a grey Keith Lemon."
Another said: "Was that Keith Lemon doing an impression of Mark Owen on Meerkat Music tonight or Mark Owen doing an impression of you???"
And Mark was also compared to X Factor icon Wagner.

A fan wrote: "Why is Wagner from the X Factor singing with Take That instead of Mark Owen?"
While another shared a picture of the contestant and said: "Mark Owen has turned into Wagner during lockdown #TakeThat."
Mark joined his bandmates Gary Barlow, 49, Robbie Williams, 46, and Howard Donald, 52, for the YouTube gig.
But fifth member Jason Orange remained absent from the band, after leaving following their 2010 album Progress.

Robbie made a late entrance and joked about how he was reluctant to join his bandmates in 2006.
He said: "More importantly, I'm here now. Last time, I was 15 years late."

Robbie joined the trio for performances of hits such as Back For Good, The Flood, Pray and Never Forget.
Robbie quit the band in 1995, but later returned to it when they performed at The X Factor final in 2018.
When Jason left the band in statement he said: "He said: "I want to start by saying how proud I am of what we have achieved together over the years. However, at a band meeting last week I confirmed to Mark, Gary, and Howard, that I do not wish to commit to recording and promoting a new album."


thedailymirror--2020-05-30--Man Utd told they "don't need" ex-Liverpool star Coutinho amid transfer link

Dimitar Berbatov has urged Manchester United not to sign former Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho this summer .
The Red Devils are linked with the Brazilian playmaker , who has struggled since his £142million transfer to Barcelona in January 2018 .
Coutinho is seen as surplus to requirements at Camp Nou and has spent the season on loan with Bayern Munich .
And while he has shown glimpses of his best form in the Bundesliga , the German giants have confirmed they will not be signing the 27-year-old permanently .
Coutinho 's agent Kia Joorabchian admitted his client `` would love @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last month and a number of suitors have emerged , including United .
But Berbatov insists his former club `` do n't need '' Coutinho due to already boasting a wealth of midfield talent .
`` There have been a lot of Premier League clubs linked with him , Arsenal , Chelsea , Newcastle and even Manchester United , but sometimes the obvious choice isn ’ t always the correct one , '' Betfair ambassador Berbatov said .
`` Everyone thought he would do great when he moved to Barcelona but it didn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to step back to go forwards .
`` He will go to a good team there is no question about that , but he needs the trust of a manager to believe in him and make him the main man so that he can play calm and be free to do what he does .
`` Other people will see him linked with a move to United and they will point out his connections with Liverpool and how he would never be forgiven if he switched to Old Trafford , but honestly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right now .
`` Bruno Fernandes is a very similar player ; he really hit the ground running and looks to be a very promising signing so I don ’ t think there would be any point in United signing him .

The warning came as crowds flouted lockdown rules by flocking to parks, beaches and riversides as the number of official deaths reached 38,161 in all settings, including hospitals and care homes
Three top scientists are warning the Government that it is too soon to lift the COVID-19 lockdown as the virus is still spreading at speed.
From Monday, Brits will be allowed to meet each other in groups of up to six while maintaining social distancing based on the two-metre rule.
Outdoor markets and car showrooms can also reopen – but the majority of shops will remain closed until mid-June.
Reception, Year One and Year Six pupils will be allowed back in class from Monday, although some councils are still refusing to open schools just yet.
But three members Britain's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) - which provides scientific advice for UK cross-government decisions in the Cabinet Office Briefing Room (COBR) - have warned these measures are being introduced too early.

The warning came as crowds flouted lockdown rules by flocking to parks, beaches and riversides as the number of official deaths reached 38,161 in all settings, including hospitals and care homes yesterday.
However, the UK's true Covid-19 death toll is more than 47,300 based on death certificates from each UK nation and according to a survey by the Office of National Statistics, there are an estimated 54,000 new COVID-19 infections per week in England.

The government has said it hopes that a "test and trace" regime, where contacts of known cases are asked to self-isolate, will contain the virus and help the country start to reopen.
But Jeremy Farrar, the director of the Wellcome Trust and a member of Britain's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), said that "COVID-19 is spreading too fast to lift lockdown in England."
"TTI (test, trace, isolate) has to be in place, fully working, capable dealing any surge immediately, locally responsive, rapid results & infection rates have to be lower. And trusted," he said on Twitter.

John Edmunds, from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and a member of SAGE, said on Friday that "we are taking some risk here" with an "untested" test and trace system describing it as a political decision.
"The government here in Westminster clearly made a decision that this is the sort of level of incidence that they're willing to tolerate, the level of incidence here in the UK is significantly higher than similar countries around Europe," he told the BBC.

"But we've obviously decided that we can tolerate that level of incidence, or the government has."
Professor Peter Horby, chairman of the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (NERVTAG) and a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), said
Britain could not afford to lose control of the virus.
"We really can't go back to a situation where we've got the numbers of cases and deaths we've had in the past," he told BBC Radio, adding that a test, trace and isolate system needed to be
in place.
"As we know, it's not yet fully operational so that is where the risk lies," he said.

I think that Sokratis could be a useful defender but I can understand the uncertainty of giving David Luiz a new deal .
