Overview
- His death on December 14 was shared via posts on the Kieran's Krew fundraising page, prompting hundreds of tributes.
- He died at St. Rocco's Hospice in Warrington after a three-year fight with an aggressive brain tumour.
- He first felt unwell on Bonfire Night 2022 and, after a negative Covid test, initially believed it was flu until appetite loss and severe headaches prompted hospital care.
- A CT scan at Warrington Hospital detected a brain mass, and a biopsy at Liverpool's Walton Centre confirmed a grade 3 astrocytoma.
- Radiotherapy and chemotherapy initially reduced the tumour before it regrew, and although doctors in December 2022 gave a 12-month prognosis, he outlived it as Kieran's Krew raised more than £27,000 for brain tumour charities.
