Cardinal Keith O’Brien, formerly the Catholic Church’s most senior cleric in Britain, has died at the age of 80.
The cardinal, who resigned as Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh in 2013 after apologising for sexual misconduct, was hurt in a recent fall.
He was being cared for in Newcastle and was transferred to hospital there after suffering a head injury.
His successor administered the last rites on Friday, on the eve of the cardinal’s 80th birthday.
