UK: A mother opens up about the false rape claims that killed her son

Story here. Excerpt:

'The tears flowed as Mike Morgan phoned his mum, between sobs insisting: “Mum, I didn’t do it.”

Accused of rape, the outgoing showman who loved the bright lights and kudos of being manager of one of Liverpool’s top gay bars, crumbled and cried as he turned to the person he trusted most.

And though the claims were unfounded and allegations not pursued, his loving mum Linda has revealed how the ordeal effectively killed him.

“Mikey couldn’t live with it,” she says.

“He knew he was innocent but he didn’t want to carry on believing people could even think he was capable of such a horrendous crime.”

His health deteriorated and, on February 13, this year, Mike Morgan passed away in his sleep – as he had predicted he would just two weeks before.'
