He was a police grass in the 1970s and always feared he would be killed.

But last night Jamaican cops were understood to believe he drowned accidentally.

The dad spent seven years in jail in the 1990s after admitting IRA killings. He wrote a book called The Informer.

In it he told of a 1980s plot to murder Prince Charles and Princess Di.

Three months ago in The Sun he lifted the lid on how Mr Corbyn and his Labour sidekick John McDonnell encouraged an IRA victory through solidarity dressed up as promoting peace.
