Mark Speight's body found at Paddington station

TV presenter went missing 6 days ago

TV presenter Mark Speight has been found dead.

The 42-year-old TV presenter went missing 6 days ago and his body were discovered at 10am on Sunday in a remote area of London's Paddington station, police have confirmed.

It is understood he hanged himself and had not been hit by a train.

Mark was finding it very difficult to cope with the loss of fiancee Natasha Collins who died three months ago at their St John's Wood flat after they had both taken cocaine.

He was originally arrested on suspicion of murder and supplying Class A drugs but no charges were brought. A coroner recorded a verdict of death by misadventure.

To help him cope with his distress, the BBC SMart host had been staying with Natasha's mother but failed to meet her in a Covent Garden cafe before his disappearance on Monday last week.

A security camera caught Mark entering Queen's Park underground station where he travelled on the Bakerloo Line to Paddington.
