The ex-chief of a loyalist paramilitary group in Northern Ireland has reportedly died in a fall. Sam ‘Skelly’ McCrory, a former leader of the Ulster Defence Association (UDA), passed away in Scotland over the weekend.The 57-year-old is said to have accidentally fallen on concrete steps and suffered a catastrophic head injury as a result.
