THE CAUSE of death of a pop star who was found dead in Dorset has been revealed. 

S Club 7 singer Paul Cattermole was found dead earlier this year at his ground floor flat in Wareham on April 6. 

The Dorset Coroner’s Service has given the cause of death for the 46-year-old as “natural causes”. 

A spokeswoman said: “We confirm that Mr Cattermole died from natural causes and our investigations have concluded.” 

This means an inquest into the pop star’s death is no needed. 

A tribute post on the official S Club 7 Instagram page said in April: “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.” 

S Club 7 were created by former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller in 1998, and were known for hit songs including Reach, Don’t Stop Movin’ and their debut track Bring It All Back. 

Mr Fuller was among those who paid tribute after news of Cattermole’s death broke. 

“Paul was a beacon of light for a generation of pop music fans and he will be greatly missed,” he said. 

Cattermole had recently worked at a community radio station in Swanage.
