Martine McCutcheon says her family "need time to grieve and heal" after the devastating loss of her brother, who died aged just 31.
Earlier today, the former EastEnders actress, 46, said her "heart is forever broken" after the sudden death of her younger brother, Laurence John, known as LJ, describing him as a "gentle giant".
In a heartfelt post, the star paid tribute to her brother, who died two weeks ago, and said there was "no medical explanation" for his death, but they are investigating the cause.
