Akinwale Arobieke Found Dead in Flat - Liverpool Echo

Akinwale Arobieke, a 64-year-old bodybuilder from Merseyside, was discovered unresponsive at his residence on Devonshire Road in Toxteth on August 26, 2025, and was later pronounced deceased.
His death followed a history of legal issues after a 2003 conviction for harassing 15 men by touching their muscles and subsequent bans imposed by police.
He challenged these restrictions, successfully appealed a 10-year ban on touching men's biceps, and later received a substantial pay-out from Greater Manchester Police in 2022 for malicious prosecution.
Merseyside Police stated that emergency responders attended the scene of a non-suspicious death at approximately 8:30pm last night, and that documentation regarding the case has been submitted to the coroner.
His death is not considered suspicious, and it concludes a contentious public life marked by Arobieke's claims of being targeted by police in a 'witch hunt' and being branded a 'modern-day bogeyman'.
