Darius Campbell Danesh’s family may have to endure a torturous two-month wait to learn the exact reason of his death.
On August 11, the West End performer was discovered unconscious in a US apartment close to the Mayo Clinic’s specialised treatment facility.
The reason of his death, at age 41, was reported by his family on Tuesday, although it is yet uncertain whether he was receiving care at the hospital in Rochester, Minnesota.
There were “no evidence of purpose or strange circumstances,” according to Rochester’s local police, who are awaiting toxicology findings, which may take up to two months. Glasgow native Campbell Danesh resided in the seven-story, two-year-old Berkman flats.
According to its description, it is Rochester’s “top location for luxurious short-term and long-term furnished apartments and residential living.” The majority of residents of the apartment building, which contains 75 short-term or nightly rentals and around 270 long-term rentals, either work or get medical care at the Mayo Clinic’s Saint Marys Campus.
The medical centre, which has 1,265 beds and was founded in 1889, specialises in cardiac therapy, transplantation, psychiatry, neurosurgery, and rehabilitation. It includes 70 operating rooms, 10 critical care units, and 1,265 beds.
According to a police official, the reason of his death is still under investigation. The general public is not currently under danger.
A tragic police dispatch call described the moment the celebrity was discovered unconscious in the residential building.
The Southern Minnesota Regional Medical Examiner’s Office identified the dead individual as Darius, and Rochester Police Department said that it responded to a “death person call” at The Berkman at 11.53am on August 11.
A dispatch call was reportedly made when a “medical” team was needed for a “possibly dead” individual.
Minutes thereafter, an operator reportedly made another call and said: “No need for them to answer.” As soon as the Rochester Police Department (RPD) shows there, we’ll wait there. We’ll lock up the house.
According to people close to him, Darius was ‘very thrilled’ for the homecoming and UK return trip and was only weeks away from a reunion tour with his old Pop Idol co-stars.
The Sun stated that the show’s international stars, including Adam Lambert, the American Idol winner and vocalist for Queen, were scheduled to be welcomed back for shooting by Thames TV at the Criterion Theatre in London’s West End.
While they wait for toxicology findings, police have said that there have been “no evidence of purpose or strange circumstances” up to this point. Natasha Henstridge, a Canadian actress, was the partner of American resident Darius.
At the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California, the pair was hitched in 2011, but they later split. There are no words Darius, according to a statement his ex-wife released yesterday. only Love, Love, Love. Always Janam.
Campbell Danesh’s family released the following statement: “It is with tremendous regret that we announce Darius Campbell Danesh’s loss.”
The medical examiners’ office declared Darius dead in the afternoon on August 11 after finding him unconscious in bed at his residence.
According to the local police department, there were no indications of malice or strange circumstances. His unexpected death has no known reason at this time, however investigations into his health are ongoing.
“Please accept our need for privacy at this time as we process the devastating death of our son and brother,” the statement reads.
On June 11, as he was walking a dog in Malibu with his friend and fellow Scot, the actor Gerard Butler, Campbell Danesh was captured in one of the final public images.
He was allegedly only weeks away from his old Pop Idol co-stars’ reunion tour, which he was quite ‘enthusiastic’ about.
Numerous celebrities paid tribute to Campbell Danesh, including Pete Waterman, who first met him while serving as a Pop Idol judge and called him “the ultimate guy.”
The phrase “gentleman” is overused, but not in Darius’ case, he said yesterday on Good Morning Britain.
I suppose he was the ideal guy since he was so calm, kind, and compassionate. So delicate. not a cross term.
He didn’t lose his cool. Darius tried to take on too much. He was too talented. Darius had the potential to surpass Michael Bublé in popularity.
The 63-year-old Simon Cowell, who came in third on Pop Idol in 2002, led the tributes to the late artist.
A statement was made by the music mogul in memory of the celebrity who died away precisely 20 years after his highly acclaimed track Colourblind reached number one on the charts.
Cowell famously offered Darius a record contract, but the two stayed friends and reconnected at an X Factor party and recording throughout the years.
It was also stated that the late singer had just spent the evening at Simon’s Malibu house to watch the judges’ homes and party.
‘I first saw Darius on television over 20 years ago and I got to know him extremely well,’ Cowell told MailOnline. He was endearing, witty, and simply a pleasure to be around.
“His demise is an incredible tragedy for someone so young, and my heart goes out to his family and friends.”
