A Letchworth chiropractor whose patients included Princess Diana has died in a motorbike crash.

Dr Graham Heale, of Sollershott East, Letchworth GC, who ran clinics in Hitchin and Luton, was killed at the scene of the crash at the Millbrook crossroads on the A507 at around 3pm on Thursday.

Dr Heale had celebrated his 57th birthday just two days earlier.

A 63-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. She has been bailed until July 13.

A tribute on the Heale’s Clinics website said: “He was a fantastic chiropractor who cared passionately for his patients and profession. The team at Heale’s have lost a truly wonderful friend who was loved by patients and staff alike.”

An inquest into Dr Heale’s death was opened yesterday (Monday).
