Jason Rae, the husband of Corinne Bailey Rae, has been found dead.

West Yorkshire Police have confirmed that the body of the 31-year-old saxophonist was found in a flat in the Hyde Park area of Leeds on Saturday.

A post-mortem to discover cause of death proved inconclusive and toxicology results are awaited.

'As a result of inquiries a 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs,' a police spokesman tells BBC News.

'He has now been released on police bail pending further inquiries.'

Corinne, 29, married Jason, a musician with the Haggis Horns, in 2001 at the age of 22.
