Gogglebox star George Gilbey tragically passed away after sustaining traumatic injuries from a fall through a skylight while working on a roof, as revealed by a coroner’s report.
A coroner is told Gogglebox star George Gilbey died from traumatic injuries after the incident while working on a roof.
The self-employed electrician, aged 40, was conducting work in Shoeburyness, Essex, on the 27th of March.
During a brief inquest session in Chelmsford, it was disclosed that Gilbey tragically fell through a skylight while working on a roof.
An individual was apprehended on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter in connection to Gilbey’s demise.
The individual, also in his 40s, has subsequently been released pending further investigation.
Gilbey became one of the initial fixtures on the reality program Gogglebox, which captures families in their living rooms as they react to television programs.
Between 2013 and 2018, he made appearances on the show and also participated in Celebrity Big Brother in 2014.
According to testimony at Essex coroner’s court, a post-mortem examination revealed that his injuries were consistent with a fall from a height.
Senior coroner Lincoln Brookes agreed to adjourn proceedings for four months, as requested by Essex Police.
During the hearing, coroner’s officer Deborah Frost stated that Gilbey was working on a roof when he fell through a plastic skylight and landed on the ground below.
Following his death, C4 Gogglebox expressed their condolences and sympathies for Gilbey’s loved ones through their official X account on Twitter.
A fundraiser was initiated to cover the expenses of his funeral, and it received over £6,500 in donations from numerous individuals.
Ricci Guarnaccio, a former Geordie Shore personality who shared the Celebrity Big Brother experience with Gilbey, expressed his heartfelt sentiments: “Your absence will be deeply felt, my friend. You always brought light to any room, showed genuine care for others, and the memories we created together will forever hold a special place in my heart, brother.”
As fans of the show, we were deeply saddened to hear the news and our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time. His warm presence and infectious laughter will be sorely missed, and it serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life. Let’s cherish the memories he left behind and keep his spirit alive in our hearts. Rest in peace, dear star.
