Can't find any evidence he is dead .... technically he wasn't reprieved - he was certified insane (after his murder conviction) and sent to Rampton .... it's poss. he is still in custody, although he'd be nearly 90 ....

British Pathe film about Rampton from 1957. Shows you some inmates walking about, doesn't name them though. Goffett could've been one of them. Reprieved from the gallows and sentenced to a life of cricket it looks like... www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6yrJrRW448 |
