Former Radio 1 DJ Kevin Greening suffered a heart attack after taking Class A drugs, tests have reportedly revealed.

Greening, who hosted the station's breakfast show with Zoe Ball between 1997 and 1998, died on Saturday on the eve of his 45th birthday.

Metropolitan Police initially treated the death as "unexplained" after a post-mortem examination failed to establish a cause.

However, further tests are believed to show that he died after taking large quantities of ecstasy, cocaine and GHB.

A man in his 50s was arrested at the address in Wandsworth, South London, where Greening's body was found. He was questioned on suspicion of possessing and intending to supply Class A drugs, and bailed without charge until March.

Greening recently worked at Smooth Radio and BBC Radio 5 Live. It is understood that he was at his partner's home when he died.
