A Prisons Ombudsman report published this week said: "On 10 September 2021, Mr John Brook was sentenced to 14 years in prison for sexual offences." He died of a cardiac arrest caused by ischaemic heart disease and left ventricular hypertrophy (thickening of the wall of the heart’s pumping chamber) on 7 July 2024, at HMP Isle of Wight.

He was 71 years old.

A clinical reviewer concluded that the clinical care Brook received at Isle of Wight was of a good standard and equivalent to what he could have expected to receive in the community.

She found evidence of excellent individualised end of lifecare planning, care delivery and decision making.

At the inquest held in December 2025, a coroner concluded that Brook died of natural causes.

In 2021 evil Brook was jailed for abusing a girl aged 13.

In 2014 Brook was jailed for sexually abusing a teenage girl in Huddersfield.
