Bill Kenneally, a former sports coach convicted of historic child sexual abuse, dies while in custody, according to multiple Irish news outlets. He was serving a long prison term for offences committed in Waterford in the 1970s and 1980s, when he abused boys. Reports state he had received a 19-year sentence and had been about 10 years into it at the time of his death, with some outlets describing that he was in prison at Midlands Prison. Several accounts describe him as aged 75. One outlet says he died in his prison cell, while another reports his death occurred in hospital after a period of ill health in recent weeks. Coverage also notes that his death is subject to standard procedures used for deaths in custody, with one outlet indicating an investigation would follow those processes. The reports are consistent in identifying Kenneally, the historic abuse case in Waterford, the length of the sentence, and his death occurring while serving that sentence. Details about the circumstances differ between outlets, including whether he died in prison or in hospital, and references to his condition or recent health issues.
