LONDON, England (CNN) -- Ailing "Great Train Robber" Ronnie Biggs -- one of the most notorious British criminals of recent decades -- was due to be formally released from prison to his death bed Friday after being granted his freedom on compassionate grounds.
Biggs, who is gravely ill with severe pneumonia, is already being treated at a hospital in Norwich, eastern England, where he was moved on Tuesday.
Three prison staff assigned to Biggs' bedside will be withdrawn Friday following UK Justice Minister Jack Straw's decision to grant him "compassionate release on medical grounds."
"The medical evidence clearly shows that Mr Biggs is very ill and that his condition has deteriorated recently, culminating in his re-admission to hospital. His condition is not expected to improve," Straw said in a statement, the UK's Press Association reported.
Biggs' son, Michael Biggs, said his father was "over the moon" that he had been released on the eve of his 80th birthday.
"We are very hopeful that my father will be able to survive the next few days," he said, according to PA. Biggs is unable to walk, barely able to communicate and no longer able to eat or drink, Michael Biggs added.
