Roger Rogerson suffers a brain aneurysm in prison and his life support is turned off
- Corrupt cop had medical episode
- He was once a decorated police officer
Roger Rogerson, one of Australia's most corrupt police officers, has had his life support switched off after suffering a brain aneurysm.
The disgraced former detective who was once a decorated NSW police officer was found unconscious in his cell after a medical episode on Thursday evening.
The 83-year-old was taken to Prince Alfred Hospital in Randwick in Sydney's east just before midnight.
His life support was turned off Friday morning and he received end-of-life care.
Rogerson was convicted in 2016 of the 2014 murder of 20-year-old student and wannabe drug dealer Jamie Gao.
Gao's body was found wrapped in a tarpaulin floating off the coast of Cronulla in Sydney's south after he was shot dead in a botched $3 million drug deal.
