Prodigy minder dead weeks after Keith Flint found hanging

Weeks after the shock suicide of Prodigy's Keith Flint the band has been hit by another tragic death - that of the group's long-term minder.

According to their website today the man they called Con who was always at 48-year-old singer's side on tour and at gigs has died.

They tweeted today: "R.i.P Con.You always had our backs and looked after us for years,you got us out of many sticky situations on tour,you were a truly great man, in fact you were actually Superman - the people that knew you will understand what I'm sayin....

"Above all you were the greatest loyal friend to us all man. We will truly miss you and never forget you brother. Our love goes out to Jayne and family. The Prodigy boys."

It isn't clear how Con died or his age.

Keith was 'put on health watch' and appointed a minder by worried Prodigy bandmates after anti-hunt protesters stormed his pub before his death.

The late frontman - who killed himself at his Essex country mansion last weekend - was reportedly followed around the clock by a burly bodyguard amid concerns for his welfare following the drama at his pub, The Leather Bottle.

According to The Sun , the establishment became a meeting place for the local hunt, until protesters found out online and turned up to 'make a fuss'.

"It really upset Keith and I know the band and the management were a bit worried for him," a source told the newspaper.
