Actor John Alford, known for roles in series including “London’s Burning” and “Grange Hill,” dies in custody after being jailed for child sex offences, an inquest reports. Multiple outlets say a coroner has heard that Alford’s death is due to heart disease. The BBC and the London Evening Standard report that the cause of death ischaemic heart disease, and that the death occurs about two months after he is sentenced. The Mirror reports the cause is revealed more than three months after he is found dead in his prison cell, describing it as a heart condition. The Daily Mail similarly states the inquest hears Alford died of heart disease shortly after his imprisonment for sexually abusing two young girls. According to the reports, Alford was 54 and had been serving an eight-year sentence at the time of his death. The inquest focuses on medical cause of death and related circumstances around his death while incarcerated.
