Labour MP Paul Goggins has died in hospital just over a week after he collapsed while out jogging with his son.

The 60-year-old politician, who had represented Wythenshawe and Sale East since 1997, passed away last night.

He was admitted to Salford Royal hospital with a suspected brain haemorrhage after collapsing while out running on December 30.

His wife Wyn and three grown up children, Matthew, Theresa and Dominic, have been at his bedside since.

The family said in a statement: "Last night Paul Goggins, our dear dad and husband, died in hospital in Salford with us by his side. We are completely heartbroken.

"He had been very ill since collapsing last week. The way in which he has been cared for at Salford Royal has been such a comfort to us and we can't thank the staff enough for this.

"We have been overwhelmed by the support and good wishes we have received from so many people - a real sign of love and a reflection of the sort of person Paul/Dad was.

"We would also like to thank the media for continuing to respect our privacy at such a difficult time."

Mr Goggins, 60, was elected to the House of Commons in 1997 and quickly became widely liked and admired by both colleagues and constituents for his dedicated work.

Fellow MPs said his passing would be a huge loss to both Manchester and the Labour party.

Leigh MP Andy Burnham, a close friend of Mr Goggins, said: "Paul was a true friend and guide to me and I am devastated by his loss. He personified everything that is good about politics and his values and sheer decency shone through in everything he did.

"Paul was utterly devoted to his constituents and the causes he championed. He was everything a good MP should be and someone in politics for the right reasons.

"The disadvantaged and dispossessed have lost a true champion in Paul Goggins and Parliament is the poorer for his passing."
