John Cannan, a convicted murderer serving a life sentence, declined medical treatment in prison before he died of natural causes. He was serving time for the murder of Shirley Banks and was a prime suspect in the disappearance of Suzy Lamplugh. A coroner reported that Cannan had severe health issues, including heart disease and diabetes, and had the mental capacity to refuse treatment. A notable incident included a delay in medical response due to a mistakenly locked gate, but this did not affect the outcome of his death.
