According to a report released by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman, Bishop had been receiving treatment for a brain tumor since September 2020, which had led to frequent seizures and a decline in his mobility. In August 2021, he underwent further surgery, followed by a course of chemotherapy, after which he agreed not to be resuscitated if his heart or breathing stopped.
