WORLD’S End killer Angus Sinclair was incontinent and bedbound when he died in his cell, a probe heard.
The stroke-hit beast needed help with “personal hygiene and dressing” and was unable to move in the last five days of his life.
Staff found him dead aged 73 at Glenochil jail near Alloa last March.
Prosecutor Karon Rollo told the fatal accident inquiry at Stirling Sheriff Court: “He had an increased frequency of falls, decreased dietary and fluid intake, increased episodes of incontinence, and a DNACPR was in place.”
She added: “It appears that he passed away in his cell overnight and was discovered by staff in the morning.”

The probe heard Sinclair was alone when he died of inflammation of the lungs, coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease following a series of strokes in the previous 18 months.
The monster’s family were made aware of the inquiry.
But they did not attend.
Sheriff Wyllie Robertson said: “I shall issue a determination making the formal findings I am invited to do.”
Sinclair was caged for at least 37 years in 2014 for raping and strangling pals Helen Scott and Christine Eadie, both 17, after they left the World’s End pub on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile in 1977.
