HARDMAN FOUND DEAD AT HOME

-  ANDREW JAMESON

COCKNEY gangster-turned-actor Dave Courtney has died at his home.

The notorious East End hardman was known for his association with the Krays and was allegedly the inspiration for Vinnie Jones's character Big Chris in Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels.

In a statement on his social media yesterday, his management said he had taken his own life.
