The police probe into S Club star Paul Cattermole’s death has ended after a coroner found him to have died from natural causes.

The 46-year-old Reach and Never Had A Dream Come True hit-maker was found dead at his home in Wareham, Dorset on April 6, leaving his bandmates and fans devastated.

The announcement by Dorset Police comes a day after the county’s coroner revealed there would not be an inquest into his death as he died of “natural causes”.

A spokeswoman for Dorset Coroner’s Office said: “We confirm that Mr Cattermole died from natural causes and our investigations have concluded. As his death was from natural causes there will be no inquest.”

A Dorset Police spokesman said: “Following further liaison with the coroner’s office, it has been confirmed that no further police assistance is required and our inquiries have concluded.”

S Club 7’s tour will go ahead as planned this autumn, however as a five-piece with member Hannah Spearitt deciding to drop out following Cattermole’s death.

Following Mr Cattermole’s death, the band posted on Twitter: “We are truly devastated by the passing of our brother Paul.

“There are no words to describe the deep sadness and loss we all feel.

“We were so lucky to have had him in our lives and are thankful for the amazing memories we have.

“He will be so deeply missed by each and every one of us.”
