Cathy Molloy, the former chief executive of the Miscarriages of Justice Organisation that Hill set up, said he had "died peacefully at his home in Ayrshire, cared for by his wife, Tara, on Monday morning".
Molloy said Hill was "my hero, a great friend, and a great boss" who had dedicated his final years to helping others through Mojo, which he had created "with his own compensation, itself never adequate reparation for what his experience was".
Hill spent 16 years in prison after being found guilty of murder in connection with the pub bombings, which killed 21 people and injured 182. He was convicted along with five other Northern Irish men: Gerry Hunter, John Walker, Hugh Callaghan, Richard McIlkenny and William Power.
