Ashes sunken in weighted urn somewhere off Liverpool after authorities had body secretly incinerated without ceremonyThe body of the Moors murderer Ian Brady has been secretly cremated and his ashes disposed of at sea in the middle of the night. Brady died of natural causes, aged 79, at Ashworth high security hospital in Merseyside on 15 May. Court documents reveal that Brady’s body was incinerated without ceremony in Southport on Wednesday 25 October. The judge ruled that there should be no funeral and no music played during the disposal of Brady’s body, rejecting Makin’s request that Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique be played. Brady’s body was collected from the mortuary at Royal Liverpool hospital by a Tameside council official at about 9pm on 25 October.
