Questions surrounding the sudden death of former Apprentice contestant Stuart Baggs have gone unanswered after the post-mortem proved inconclusive, Isle of Man police said.

Despite the lack of a cause of death, the police added there is "no reason to view the circumstances as suspicious."

A police spokesman said: "Whilst at this time the cause of his death is not fully determined, there remains no reason to view the circumstances as suspicious, and routine inquiries will continue in order to inform the Coroner of Inquests the full circumstances."

Baggs, 27, famous for his appearance in the 2010 series of The Apprentice, was found dead at an address in Douglas, the capital of the Isle of Man, on Thursday morning.
