  1. Unfortunately the loss of his girlfriend due to an alcohol induced drug overdose proved too much for the poor man to bear and hanged himself.

    He was found in one of the unused entrances of Paddington Station about a week after he went missing. I think it was in the building by the station itself as it's not used at present.


  2. he hung himself in paddington station after his fianca natasha collins overdosed on cocaine nad recieved second degree burns from the hot bath she was in whilst she was on the cocaine. it is believed that mark felt so guilty she died, that is why he killed himself. he left two suicide notes, one where he hung himself and one at his home. it is believed he hung himself the day or the day after he went missing, therefore he had been dead for a while when he was found. very tragic!

  3. hung himself

  4. hung himself cos he was depressed about his girlfriend dying

  5. He hung himself. Shame about it but he was heartbroken as his fiance died from drugs

  6. Sadly he hung himself. The following is a snippet from Wikipedia.

    "On 13 April 2008, Speight's body was discovered hanging from the roof of MacMillan House, adjacent to Paddington Station in London. The discovery was made by railway workers at 10:00am, and was confirmed to be Speight's body on April 14, 2008 by the British Transport Police. An inquest into the death opened on 16 April 2008 and confirmed the cause of death as hanging; it was also disclosed that suicide notes had been found on the body and at Speight's home. The inquest was adjourned until May 14, 2008. Speight's funeral was held on 28 April at St Michael and All Angels Church in Tettenhall."

  7. Hung hiself in one of the london train stations he was like right up in the roof or something they didnt find him to a few days after

  8. he hung himself in an abandoned building near piccadilly station.

    His fiance had been found dead a few months earlier after she'd drowned in a bath following a drug overdose.

    It's such a shame as they were both only young still.

    I hope they're together now.

  9. The 42-year-old was found hanging in a building next to Paddington train station, reportedly because he had happy memories of travelling with his fiancée Natasha Collins.

    Police are trying to find out how he managed to access the partially-disused office block and are examining CCTV from the station last Monday when Speight was last seen alive.

    Friends said he was left reeling by Collins' death at the flat they shared in St John's Wood, north-west London, in January.

    In the weeks after the tragedy, Speight moved in with her mother, Carmen, who reported him missing last Monday after he failed to keep an appointment with her.

    Paying tribute to the presenter yesterday, she said: "We were devastated to lose Natasha earlier this year and for Mark to have now died as well is tragic.

    "We are very sad and cannot believe what has happened. Mark was a deeply special person, his loving nature and kind heart made such a difference to our lives.

    "In the past three-and-a-half months since Natasha died we as a family have grown closer to Mark. "We can see why Natasha loved him so much as we grew to love him even more.

    "His vivacious personality touched the lives of many and we were privileged to have known him. Our thoughts are with Mark's family at this sad time."

    A coroner recorded a verdict of death by misadventure at the inquest into Miss Collins' death.

    She had taken cocaine and sleeping tablets and suffered hot water burns covering 60% of her body.

    Speight was initially arrested on suspicion of murder and supplying class A drugs but no charges were brought.

    British Transport Police (BTP) said railway workers found his body on the roof of MacMillan House around 10am on Sunday.

    According to company records the office block is used as a base by several railway and bus transport firms.

    A BTP spokeswoman said the body was in "a remote area out of public view" of the building, which is close to platform one of the station.

    The post-mortem will discover how Speight died and identify how long his body lay undiscovered.

    Colleagues, friends and family members continued to pay tribute to the TV presenter yesterday.

    Kirsten O'Brien, his co-presenter on children's show SMart, said Speight was "without doubt the funniest man I've ever known".

    She said: "Filming days were a joy as Mark would often have the crew and I doubled up with laughter and I think that showed on screen.

    "As well as his fantastic art skills, Mark had a childlike enthusiasm for life which is what made him such a hit with young viewers.

    "As a friend, Mark was gifted with making people laugh, he lifted your spirits, and his sense of the ridiculous was a delight.

    "I'm proud to have had Mark in my life and am devastated at losing him in such a terrible way. All of his friends will miss him deeply.

    "Mark could find light in the darkest situations for others. I'm only sorry he couldn't find it for himself. My thoughts are with his family."

    His father, Oliver, a property developer, said: "Mark was a wonderful son and brother to his family and he will be very sadly missed."

    Jan Kennedy, Speight's agent, said: "We are absolutely devastated at the tragic news of the loss of Mark and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family as well as the family of his beloved fiancee, Natasha, whose equally tragic death had affected him so inconsolably."
