STEVE Wright’s cause of death has been revealed as a ruptured stomach ulcer after the BBC DJ died aged just 69.

Peritonitis is an infection of the inner lining of the abdomen, which can be caused by a burst stomach ulcer.

Scotland Yard previously said Wright’s death at a flat in Marylebone, central London, “was unexpected, but is not being treated as suspicious”.

In May, Westminster Coroner’s Court said in a statement: “An inquest will not be required for Mr Wright.

“The coroner has now discontinued this case.”
