How did Max Clifford die?
The inquest into Max Clifford's death revealed he had complained about conditions in the prison, which his daughter claims contributed to the deterioration of his health.
Clifford died of congestive heart failure on December 10, 2017, two days after he collapsed in prison.
He had a "rare" serious condition called cardiac AL amyloidosis, caused by a build-up of proteins in organs and tissues.
A hearing at Huntingdon Law Courts was told Clifford complained "every day" before his death about unheated prison cells and cold showers.
Why was he in jail?
Max Clifford was a disgraced former PR man and publicist who died on December 10, 2017, after suffering a heart attack at HM Prison Littlehey in Cambridgeshire.
He was serving an eight-year sentence for historical sex offences.
He abused four girls aged between 15 and 19 between 1997 and 1985 but was intending on appealing his convictions in 2018.
Clifford was cleared of a further count of indecent assault on a teenage girl at his Mayfair offices in the 1980s at Southwark Crown Court.
Clifford was arrested on December 6, 2012, and after a high-profile trial at London's Southwark Crown Court, he was found guilty of eight counts of indecent assault against four victims.
He was found not guilty of two other charges of indecent assault.
Judge Anthony Leonard who presided over the trial also told Clifford he was certain he had assaulted a 12-year-old girl in Spain but this was not a charge which could be pursued in UK courts.
Clifford was born in Surrey in 1943 and raised by his mother and father - who worked as a milkman.
After a spell at music company EMI, he founded Max Clifford Associates in 1970 and began to secure a number of high profile clients.
In a documentary due to air on Channel 4 on March 1, 2021 audio tapes of the publicist, who died over three years ago, are played of him talking about his unquenchable lust.
In the expose he can be heard explaining how he posed as a fictional associate in order to lure women to his office to give him sexual favours.
