Singer and actor Darius Campbell Danesh had an unknown heart condition at the time of his death, according to his autopsy results. Darius, who starred in Pop Idol and had a hit with Colourblind, died after inhaling the drug chloroethane at the age of 41.
His girlfriend Lauren Cheek has now revealed the results of the autopsy into his death, which happened last August. She said the examination showed his heart had swelled to twice its normal size and the singer had a broken neck, a result of a 2010 car crash.
Lauren said: "Darius was living with this heart condition that he didn’t know he had."
