Thankyou lord he's dead!

Ian Brady is dead. Does anyone know how he died?

[wakkapaca]

Cancer apparently. Does it matter? Let's just be thankful he's gone!

There are several threads discussing this already - might help people to be able to discuss on the same thread

Sad that for the remaining family of Keith Bennett there never will be complete closure.

[ZilphasHatpin]

Actually I don't think it is good. Not while there are still grieving people who don't know where their loved one is. That's beyond cruel. They will never have an answer now. He could have suffered 'til he was 700 and it wouldn't be enough in my book, not while he was keeping that information to himself.

Cancer and emphysema. Hope he suffered, I really do, the bastard.

Sad for all the victims and families, but particularly Keith Bennett's who never found him.

[anon1987]

Zilphas yes I did think that, but to be honest I don't think he would have ever given answers to the families.

[ZilphasHatpin]

I agree with you there. He had no intention of it. Which is why he didn't deserve to be free from his pain.

[Jux]

At least we're no longer paying to keep him in hospital/prison.

I'm wondering what they'll do with his ashes, as I can't think of anywhere which would actually want them.

[ZilphasHatpin]

Dumped in a skip would be my vote. Or dropped down a manhole.
