A sex attacker who went 'shopping' for a victim late at night and assaulted a woman as she slept has died in a Scots prison.
Wieslaw Piotrowski, aged 62, died on February 12 at HMP Perth, after serving only three months behind bars.
His death has been reported to the Procurator Fiscal and a Fatal Accident Inquiry will take place.
Piotrowski was jailed last year at Perth Sheriff Court after being convicted of sexually assaulting 37-year-old woman.
He had lured his victim, who had been drunk and high on cocaine, back to his home at Perth Airport, near Scone in Perthshire.
She told the court she was incapable of standing or speaking at the time, and had been unaware of where she was when she woke up to find Piotrowski attacking her after he had climbed into the bed.
Piotrowski denied the charges and claimed he was trying to help his victim.
The jury at Perth Sheriff Court found him unanimously guilty of sexually assaulting the woman by removing her clothing and carrying out various sexual acts upon her while she was incapable of giving consent in 2021.
An SPS spokesperson said: 'Wieslaw Piotrowski, 62, a prisoner from HMP Perth has died on 12 February 2022.
"Mr Piotrowski was convicted at Perth Sheriff Court in 2021.
"Police Scotland have been advised and the matter reported to the Procurator Fiscal.
"A Fatal Accident Inquiry will be held in due course."
Police Scotland have been contacted for comment.
