Christy Dignam’s daughter Kiera hits back after 'cruel' rumours dad passed away

The daughter of Christy Dignam has slammed those who claimed her dad has passed away saying it is "cruel" to be put in a position to clear up the matter.

Aslan’s Christy, 62, was diagnosed with two rare blood cancers - amyloidosis and multiple myeloma - over 10 years ago. Christy subsequently spent some time in a hospice, after which his family released a statement earlier this year, revealing he was receiving palliative care.
