Jimmy Savile abused dying patients in a hospice, a report by the Metropolitan police is expected to disclose.

Scotland Yard's official report into the Savile scandal will identify all the institutions including hospitals, schools and prisons where it is alleged Savile preyed on victims.

It is also expected to reveal for the first time that the former BBC TV presenter, who died in October 2011, attacked patients at hospices he visited under the guise of charity work.

According to reports in the Sun and Telegraph on Monday, the Met police report is expected to name 13 hospitals, including at least one hospice, where Savile attacked vulnerable patients.

Three of the hospitals, Stoke Mandeville, Leeds General Infirmary and Broadmoor high-security psychiatric hospital, are already known.

The Savile scandal emerged in October following a TV documentary on ITV. Since then the Met have launched their own investigation into abuse by Savile and others.

So far, 589 people have come forward to the NSPCC and officers working on Operation Yewtree with 450 complaints about Savile, 31 of them rape allegations.
