A man accused of killing his newlywed daughter has died following a "long term refusal of food", the Home Office has confirmed.
Terry Rodgers, 56, faced murder charges after his 23-year-old daughter Chanel Taylor was found dead in July 2004 at the Nottinghamshire home they shared.
He was admitted to a psychiatric unit after refusing to eat in early 2005.
A lawyer for Mr Rodgers, of Huthwaite, told a court last year his client had one desire, "sadly that is to die".
Mrs Taylor was found dead on 30 July at the home she shared with her husband Lee and Mr Rodgers.
Her father had moved in with the couple following the break-up of his marriage.
Mr and Mrs Taylor had married just seven weeks earlier and her father gave her away.
Mr Rodgers, originally from South Normanton in Derbyshire, was arrested after the biggest manhunt ever conducted in Nottinghamshire.
