A popular Youtuber who thought shoulder pain brought on by a rare form of cancer was caused by an arm wrestle with his father has died after failing to get medical treatment when the lockdown began.  Fit and healthy David Macmillan, better known on YouTube as Pirate Dog, started feeling a slight ache in his shoulder as early as January and tried to book an appointment with his GP when it lasted until February. Unable to see his doctor, the 30-year-old from Northumberland instead saw a nurse practitioner, who prescribed painkillers and referred him to a physiotherapist. But the school kitchen worker, who had 250,000 subscribers on YouTube, never got an appointment, as the country was plunged into lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.

He was later diagnosed with rare mediastinal germ cell cancer, and died this month, days before his home county was plunged into Tier Two of the Government's coronavirus lockdown scheme.

His mother, Dianne Whinn, said: 'I just think if someone had physically examined him we might have found out something sooner.'
