Police issue update after S Club 7 Paul Cattermole's death

Police have issued an update into their investigation into S Club 7 star Paul Cattermole's death.

Officers confirmed they have ended their investigation into the pop star's death.

A police spokesperson told the Mirror: “Following on from your enquiry on this yesterday, we can now confirm that following further liaison with the Coroner’s Office, it has been confirmed that no further police assistance is required and our enquiries have concluded.”

Yesterday, following the release of Paul’s cause of death, a Dorset Police spokesperson said: “Dorset Police is continuing to liaise with the Coroner’s Office to establish the latest situation.”

The update from the police comes after the star's cause of death was confirmed by the coroner.

Dorset Coroner's Service finished investigating Paul's death and confirmed he died of natural causes and no inquest into the singer's death will take place.

Paul's unexpected death at the age of 46 on April 6 devastated his S Club 7 bandmates, just months before the seven-piece band were due to tour to celebrate their 25th anniversary.

A statement from the band to announce Paul's death read: "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. We ask that you respect the privacy of his family and of the band at this time."

It's since been announced that Hannah Spearritt, who had previously dated Paul, would be taking a step back from the band following the death of her ex-boyfriend and bandmate.

Rachel Stevens, Jon Lee, Tina Barrett, Jo O'Meara and Bradley McIntosh took to their official Instagram page to break the news and pay tribute to their late friend over the weekend.

The five singers told their fans: "You've probably noticed that there's only five of us here today.

"Hannah will always be a part of S Club 7, she won't be joining us on this tour but we wish her all the best for the future."
