Mark Speight no longer a murder suspect

Postmortem finds death of fiancée Natasha Collins is ‘non-suspicious’

Mark Speight is no longer considered a murder suspect in the death of fiancée Natasha Collins, police have confirmed.

A postmortem on Natasha, 31, was inconclusive, an inquest heard yesterday.

‘The death is deemed to be non-suspicious at this stage but clearly the cause of death is unascertained and subject to further investigation,’ Det Insp Simon Whittaker told Westminster Coroner's Court.

Mark, 42, was arrested on suspicion of murder and supplying drugs after he found Natasha's body at their North London home last week.

The TV presenter is still under suspicion of supplying Class A drugs, reports BBC News.

He is currently on bail to return to court in February, as more tests are carried out.

Last week, Mark released a statement denying any involvement in the death.
