Dr Mark Deakin, a 53-year-old former consultant, has died following an investigation into his alleged relationship with convicted murderer Lucy Letby. He was previously dismissed from Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in June after an 18-month inquiry into the nature of their association.
Reports state that Dr Deakin was accused of being Letby’s “boyfriend,” a claim that formed part of the wider investigation conducted by hospital authorities. His dismissal came after internal proceedings reviewed his professional conduct and personal links connected to the case.
His death has now been confirmed, though details surrounding the circumstances have not been publicly disclosed.
The case had attracted significant public attention due to its connection to the ongoing scrutiny of events surrounding Lucy Letby and related hospital investigations.
