In 2012 police said Savile, one of the Britain's best-known celebrities in the 1970s and 1980s, had sexually abused hundreds of victims, mainly youngsters, at hospitals and at BBC premises over six decades until his death aged 84 in 2011. &quot;As a nation at that time, we held Savile in our affection as a somewhat eccentric national treasure with a strong commitment to charitable causes,&quot; Britain's Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt told parliament. &quot;Today's reports show that in reality he was a sickening and prolific sexual abuser who repeatedly exploited the trust of a nation for his own vile purposes.&quot; In one disclosure, it was reported that Savile, who had publicly spoken of his fascination with the dead, had sexually abused bodies in the mortuary of Leeds General Infirmary in northern England, taking advantage of his role as a volunteer porter.</p><br clear="all"/>
