Wayne Cannon, a notorious armed robber from Kent, passed away after collapsing in the showers at HMP Bullingdon in Oxfordshire, according to a report by the Prisons & Probation Ombudsman. Cannon had a history of criminal convictions and substance abuse when he was incarcerated in 2019 for knifepoint robberies at a fish and chip shop in Margate and a Boots pharmacy in Westgate-on-Sea.

The report indicates that on July 8, 2022, while at HMP Bullingdon, Cannon entered the communal shower area around 3:30 pm and subsequently collapsed. Fellow inmates discovered him and promptly alerted prison staff, who placed him in the recovery position. Despite these efforts, Cannon remained unresponsive and began experiencing a cardiac arrest. Prison paramedics arrived on the scene and initiated resuscitation attempts with a defibrillator. However, it was determined that the emergency services’ response was delayed by 12 minutes due to security protocols that required them to remove their smartwatches.
