Rolf Harris’ widow Alwen is unaware her convicted paedophile husband has died, it has been reported.
The disgraced entertainer passed away at his home on May 10.
He died of neck cancer and “fragility of old age” at his home in Bray, Berkshire, according to an official document.

His death was confirmed by a registrar at Maidenhead Town hall which was later registered by his former PA Lisa Ratcliff on Tuesday afternoon (May 23) just hours before his passing was made public.
Harris lived with his wife of 64 years, Alwen, after he was released from prison in May 2017.

According to Australia’s Daily Telegraph, Alwen, who lives with Dementia, is unaware of Harris’ death.
She is receiving constant care and is in the latter stages of her condition but is still living at their shared residence in Berkshire.
Harris’ final conversation, during which he begged his daughter Bindi to look after her mother, was made public following his private cremation.

He said: “I always believed we would go on longer together but, if I go first, promise you’ll take good care of your mum.”
Ahead of his death, the Australian-born had been left requiring round-the-clock care and was being fed via a feeding tube while battling neck cancer.
In a statement announcing his death, the family said Harris had “died peacefully surrounded by family and friends and has now been laid to rest”.

It is understood Harris is due to be cremated after his family confirmed his funeral had already taken place.
The Australian-born artist was a fan-favourite for decades before he was convicted for a string of indecent assaults back in June 2014.
He served three years of a five year and nine month sentence after he was found guilty of 12 counts of sexual assault, one of which was later overturned on unsafe grounds.
The entertainer assaulted four underage female victims during the 1970s and 1980s, and was later stripped of his AO and CBE when his crime came to light.
