There are a number of reports on Twitter saying that Paddy has died. The posts started at around 12.30 pm today UK time.
I do know from reliable sources that Paddy has been gravely ill and may have been evacuated back to the UK from an Athens hospital.
These reports need substantiating but I do fear they may be true. I will keep the blog updated.

Paddy is my Great-Uncle, and sadly, it is true.
I’m at Channel 4 News and trying to substantiate these reports. Can we have a chat please?
