Ronnie Corbett's wife has revealed the star had been battling suspected motor neurone disease before he died. Anne Hart told The Daily Mail he had been diagnosed in March 2015 after he "started to feel unwell and found it hard to breathe and to lie down" around Christmas 2014. She told the newspaper only family and close friends knew of his illness. "He was not in pain, and up to the last 48 hours, he was fully conscious and aware of everything." she said. On Tuesday, Corbett went into a coma after his oxygen levels dropped and he was taken to Shirley Oaks Hospital in Croydon where he died on Thursday morning at the age of 85.
