Following a post mortem examination today, police still do not know how Apprentice star Stuart Baggs died.

In a statement released this evening they said: “The Isle of Man Constabulary can confirm that a Post Mortem examination was carried out this afternoon.

“Whilst at this time the cause of his death is not fully determined, there remains no reason to view the circumstances as suspicious, and routine enquiries will continue in order to inform the Coroner of Inquests of the full circumstances.”

The 27-year-old was found dead at his home on the Isle Of Man on Thursday morning. He found fame on* The Apprentice* in 2010 – he was the show’s youngest contestant – and has been fondly remembered for some of his genius phrases.

Just prior to the news, Stuart’s sister Charlotte paid tribute to her brother, who she called the “king of following his dreams”.

“Today my dearest brother Stuart Baggs gained his wings,” Charlotte wrote on Facebook. “To say we are all shocked and devastated is an understatement.

“Love him or hate him, he touched many people's lives from his TV antics to his amazing work with Bluewave Communications. This week he unveiled plans that would have revolutionised the industry, now our world has been shattered apart.”

She continued: “He was the biggest character and will leave the biggest hole behind. Not knowing what or why makes it all the harder.

“[I] can't explain how proud I am of him. He was the king of following his dreams and making them happen.”

Since the news came to light, tributes have poured in for Stuart, with Sir Alan Sugar writing on Twitter: “Terrible news Stuart Baggs has died. My sincere condolences to his family and friends RIP one of the stand out characters of The Apprentice.”
