Barlinnie child sex beast suffered 'great pain' in prison cell before death in hospital

A child sex attacker died in hospital after becoming seriously ill in his prison cell.

John Harrison was found dazed at Barlinnie and suffering from pins and needles, he told staff everything was spinning. He was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he made a temporary recovery before his health took a sudden deterioration.
