Presenter Speight left suicide notes

Children's TV presenter Mark Speight left a suicide note at his flat, an inquest has heard.

The 42-year-old was found hanged at Paddington station on Sunday, three months after the death of fiancée Natasha Collins.

The coroner’s court was told that he left a suicide letter in the property in St John’s Wood, North-West London. Another note was discovered on his body.

The SMart host was said to be distraught after Collins's body was found in the bath of the couple's flat on January 3. She was later revealed to have died of an overdose of cocaine and sleeping pills.

Inner West London coroner Dr Paul Knapman said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding Speight's death.

A full inquest will open in May.
