That is sad for his family and friends.

I think there is a cs'er who knows him.

As much as I don't like to talk badly of him, he was a thug.

I suppose the best that can be said is that he did turn his life around. RIP Chopper Read.

I wonder if he left any confessions or did he take his knowledge to the grave?

He was a known liar, so what he said was not necessarily true.

One decent thing he did that nobody can deney, he refused to get a liver transplant, claiming that others are more deserving than he was.

RIP, Chopper

It sounded noble...though I'm not sure that he actually qualified as a candidate for one.

Read said he wasn’t afraid to die, but did not want to die in a pool of his own blood.

He also blamed Jimmy Loughnan – a now dead criminal associate – for ruining any chance he had of a liver transplant.

Read said Loughnan stabbed him nine times in a prison fight, which was depicted in the Chopper film.

He has too much scar tissue around his liver to enable the operation.

Read said the toxins in his body could not be processed by his liver.

Would we be saying the same for Dennis Ferguson and the list of known filthy paedophiles as well, I guess they all had families.
