S Club 7 singer Paul Cattermole’s cause of death has now been confirmed following his tragic passing at the age of 46.

The singer tragically died last month ahead of the band’s reunion tour.

News of the star’s death left his family, friends, bandmates and the general public shocked and devastated. He was found dead in his ground floor flat in Wareham, Dorset.

Since Paul’s passing, before the band’s 25th anniversary reunion tour, S Club member Hannah Spearritt announced her decision not to continue with the reunion — which has been renamed to The Good Times Tour — but the rest of the band will go ahead.

The Dorset Coroner’s Service has now confirmed what caused Paul’s death. Paul died of natural causes and no inquest to the singer’s death will take place.

However Dorset Police, who found Paul’s body on April 6th, said their enquiries were ‘ongoing’.

A spokesperson for the coroner 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.”

Paul’s death was announced by his family and his band S Club 7 last month, with fans and famous friends flooding social media with tributes and sharing their memories of the late star.

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.”

His body was discovered in his home on April 6th, one day prior to the news of his death being made public.

Greater Manchester Police

Two men have now been charged with murder, following the discovery of a human torso in Kersal Dale.

As well as that, more suspected human remains were also discovered this morning, Monday April 29th, in an alleyway close to the railway lines off Worsley Road, Eccles.

This follows earlier discoveries of human remains over the past three weeks, at Kersal Dale, Blackleach Reservoir and Colliery Wood, all in Salford.

Greater Manchester Police


Michal Jaroslaw Polchowski (25/04/1956) and Marcin Majerkiewicz (10/04/1982) both of Worsley Road, Eccles, have been charged with murder.

They are set to appear at Tameside Magistrates Court this afternoon.

While formal identification is still ongoing, the remains found at Kersal Dale are believed to be of a local man in his 60s. The remains found at the other three locations are still to be tested, but police are confident they belong to the same victim.

ACC Sarah Jackson said: “We have had large numbers of officers, staff and specialists working diligently on this investigation over the last three weeks. It has been very much a large, collective effort, with the victim and family at the heart of it from the outset.

“We have specially trained officers deployed to support the family as they come to terms with this tragic news. They are aware of this morning’s further discovery and will continue to be kept up to date with how we are progressing.

“Despite the charges brought today, our work is far from over.

“The scenes we already have established in Bury and Salford will remain in place for much of this week whilst our searches and enquiries continue. Local officers will continue to patrol the impacted areas to provide reassurance.

“We will continue following every line of enquiry to recover and reunite the victim with his family, bringing a dignified end to this terrible scenario.

“I’d like to thank the communities of Salford and beyond for their cooperation throughout this investigation. I know this incident has come as a shock, and the support we’ve had from those in the area is very much appreciated.”
