Overview
- He first fell ill on Bonfire Night 2022 with headaches, a sore throat and a runny nose, then sought help when his appetite disappeared after a negative Covid test.
- A CT scan at Warrington Hospital revealed a brain mass, and a biopsy at Liverpool’s Walton Centre confirmed an aggressive grade three astrocytoma.
- Radiotherapy and chemotherapy initially shrank the tumour in early 2023, before scans in July 2023 and June 2025 showed renewed growth.
- He died on December 14 at St. Rocco’s Hospice in Warrington, with posts from Kieran’s Krew prompting hundreds of condolence messages.
- Kieran’s Krew has raised more than £27,000 for brain tumour charities, with plans to support the hospice as charities highlight headaches and appetite loss as common tumour symptoms.
