'Lady in Lake' man Gordon Park found hanged in cell

'Lady in Lake' man Gordon Park found hanged in cell

"Lady in the Lake" killer Gordon Park has been found dead in his prison cell on his 66th birthday.



Park was convicted of the murder of his wife Carol in 2005, nearly 30 years after he killed her and dumped her body in Coniston Water in the Lake District.

He was found hanging in his cell at HMP Garth, Leyland, Lancashire, on Monday. It is believed he took his own life.

The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman will be conducting an investigation into the death.

A Prison Service spokesman said Park was found unconscious in his cell at 0800 GMT on Monday.

He said: "Staff and paramedics attended but Mr Park was pronounced dead at 9.40am."

This bloke always maintained his innocence to the last. Something stinks here. THAT was not reported in the MSM, I got the details from Radio 4, a respectable news service.
