Three months have passed since the untimely death of Radio 2 DJ Steve Wright, and the public is now privy to an update regarding the circumstances surrounding his passing. Wright, a broadcasting legend whose career spanned over five decades, tragically passed away at the age of 69 in February of this year. The news of his death sent shockwaves through both the entertainment industry and his legion of devoted fans.
Initially, the Metropolitan Police confirmed that Wright’s death at a flat in Marylebone, central London, was unexpected but not considered suspicious. However, recent revelations shed light on the aftermath of his passing. Westminster Register Office disclosed that his death has yet to be registered, contrary to expectations outlined by gov.uk, which advises registering a death within five days, including weekends and bank holidays.
Furthermore, it was announced earlier this month that no inquest would be held into Wright’s death. This decision was confirmed by Westminster Coroner’s Court, stating, “An inquest will not be required for Mr. Wright.” The lack of an inquest has left some questions unanswered, adding to the intrigue surrounding his passing.
In February, Wright’s family released a poignant statement, expressing their deep sorrow and profound regret at the loss of their beloved Steve. They highlighted his impact on the airwaves and requested privacy during their time of mourning.
