The father of British hostage John Cantlie has died just weeks after making an impassioned plea for his son’s release.

Paul Cantlie died “from complications following pneumonia”, according to a family statement.

The 80-year-old recorded a video message for his son’s Islamic State (IS) captors earlier this month, which has so far gone unheeded.

The family said they had made urgent attempts to inform their son since the death last Thursday.

In a statement, they said: “Paul died not knowing whether John’s captors had received any of the messages he had sent to them.

“The failure of communication to date has inevitably led to a terrible sense of abandonment, particularly for John’s father, with the family feeling ignored.”… see more
