Convicted paedophile Rolf Harris has died aged 93.The news was revealed today by three neighbours on the estate where Harris lived in Bray, Berks, who told our sister paper, The Mirror, he had died either Wednesday morning or Tuesday evening.A fourth resident from the area said he had seen a sudden influx of carers into Harris' mansion around a week ago.A residents’ WhatsApp group for members of the estate’s Fisheries Residents’ Association, seen by the Mirror, wished Rolf “RIP” in messages.One neighbour told the Mirror: “People around here were very conscious of what happened last time (when the Mirror revealed Rolf had walked into a local schoolyard) so they wanted it to remain quiet until all the members of his family and close friends learned about it.”Last year, it was reported that Harris was ill with neck cancer and was unable to talk but the neighbour, a friend of Harris, said she last spoke to him about six months ago and he was able to speak.She said: “I know he has been ill for some time.
He used to be out in his garden from time to time.”She then added that he was the “life and soul” of residents’ street parties.Harris was said to be "gravely ill" and receiving round-the-clock care from nurses and carers on a daily basis before his death.In 2014, he was convicted and sentenced to five years and nine months in jail for 12 indecent assaults on four underage girls between 1968 and 1986.He was released from prison in 2017 – part-way through a re-trial on four accusations of indecent assault.In November 2017, he appeared at the Court of Appeal in London to try and overturn his convictions and had one overturned.
