An inquest hears that actor John Alford, known for appearing in TV series including “London’s Burning,” died of heart disease after being imprisoned. Multiple reports state that Alford was found dead in his prison cell and that the cause of death was later disclosed. The inquest information described Alford as having died only weeks after he was jailed for sexually abusing two young girls. One outlet says the cause of death is revealed more than three months after his death in custody, indicating a delay between the discovery of his body and the inquest’s findings.
All accounts presented here link Alford’s death to natural causes identified as heart disease, and they also reference the prison sentence connected to sexual offences involving two children. The reports do not add further medical detail beyond the cause of death, nor do they provide additional findings from the inquest beyond what is summarized in the headlines.
