Only a post mortem can confirm the cause of death. The rest is just speculation. Tomorrow this will be front page news. I just hope the papers respect the family and don't jump to conclusions.

Yes, but "died in his sleep" isn't a medical reason.

People can "die of natural causes" at any age.

Yes, there's some reason like heart failure etc but there doesn't have to be an accident or illness just because he was so young.

Sudden death doesn't just happen to infants and the elderly.

I am afraid no doc tor would write that, it would have stated the medical reason why she died.

Again, people can die suddenly at ANY age. You don't have to be elderly.

It had to go to the Coroners Court and they did put that as the cause of death....

from the Home Office guidance for doctors completing death certificates

Those instructions remain current, except for the change in lower age limit at which ‘old age’ is thought to be acceptable as the sole cause of death (now 80 instead of 70, as covered in detail below). Doctors should familiarise themselves with the MCCD notes, and consult them if they are in any doubt about whether, or how, to certify a death.

Old age is not a scientifically recognized cause of death; there is always a more direct cause although it may be unknown in certain cases and could be one of a number of aging-associated diseases.

I guess its just laziness or easier

Plenty people suffer with depression, doesn't mean death is on its way at all.

Really really sad. I used to watch Rock School with my young daughter, she developed a lasting adoration of Kiss and a huge crush on Lil' Chris. So hope it's not the old too much too young story, he seemed to be a real sparky kid with lots of life and energy. RIP.

Sorry this story is odd.......his mum has been sharing a number of pictures of her son online ....????

Why is he dead........why are his family not demanding to know what has happened to him ?

Was he ill perhaps..........was he expected to die in recent weeks.

Please somebody add a little substance to this story.

Theres no point in trying to second guess everything based on hearsay and conjecture. Not every single event you hear about has to be strange or something going on ffs.
Im sure his family have got more important things on their mind than updating you or anyone on exactly what happened the second they find out.
What on earth makes you think his family dont want to know what happened and arent asking questions Im pretty sure they know by now.
This is one of your weirdest posts to date.
