to buy or not to buy


will never be the same

I can't believe this - watching BBC News now for confirmation. He's so young - what a tragedy

yeah its a shame :( x

That's really sad, I liked him. He seemed to have everything going for him, he'd just built his own house, had all those shows. That's a shock!

Didn't know who he was until I clicked the link !

Always horrible to hear of a life cut short. xx

and I watched the BBC news waiting for this to be confirmed ......nothing!
Had to Google Kristian's name to confirm the story. Shame on the BBC!!!!

It's on the BBC news website Lady in Red..

Was shocked to read this on Ceefax. Didn't hear it on the BBC News, but it was running along the bottom of the page on the BBC 24HR News channel.

Such a tragic loss of another young life.

his death is been treated as unexsplained

I'm so sorry to hear this.He was the last person you would expect to die under "unexplained circumstances."

He always seemed so passionate, so full of energy,so genuine in his emotions. I loved watching his shows.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Rest in Peace,Kristian.

Latest from BBC New site...

The results of a post-mortem examination have been "inconclusive".

A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said they are waiting for further tests.

"The death is still being treated as unexplained.

"We are satisfied there was no third-party involvement."

put this on gen but here also,

I hope these comments from his work colleagues will be how he is remembered whatever the cause of death

Dom Littlewood : "There's not a bad word I can say about Kristian.

"He was a lovely fun, nice, jolly, decent person."

His agent and friend Jo Wander said: "I am devastated by the loss. He was a lovely guy and a very talented presenter and director. I will miss him hugely and my thoughts at this time are with his family and his many friends. He will be sorely missed."

Alistair Appleton, "Kristian was a fine, charming, complex, rather dazzling man. TV is duller and straighter and drearier without him. I was proud to have met him, hung out with him, known him a little."

Seems it was/could have been an accident..

Relatives of television presenter Kristian Digby have told of their shock as police investigated whether he died when a solo sex game went tragically wrong.

A post-mortem examination is expected to find the BBC daytime host suffocated while deliberately starving himself of oxygen to heighten sexual arousal.

The extremely dangerous practice of auto-erotic asphyxiation is said to increase sexual pleasure and participants employ masks, ligatures or even plastic bags to achieve the desired effect.



Officers said they were officially treating the circumstances of his death as "unexplained".

In a statement his relatives said: "The family are saddened and in a state of shock at the loss of Kristian who they loved very much."

Digby was pronounced dead at his home in Richford Road, Newham, east London, after an ambulance crew was called shortly before 8am on Monday.

Colleagues and friends have reacted with shock, describing the To Buy Or Not To Buy host as a "lovely guy" who brought a "real sense of energy and warmth to all the shows he presented".

Liam Keelan, Controller of BBC Daytime, said the 32-year-old would be "very much missed".

The property expert worked on a string of shows including Double Agents, Living In The Sun, House Swap and Buy It, Sell It, Bank It.

I was really hoping it wouldn't be something like that. I had a feeling it was something like SADS.

Though I think at this stage it's all speculation, the PM was 'inconclusive'. so there is nothing either way so far. It's not fair for the media to publish that before any post mortem tests results are announced officially.

It's a shame whatever the cause was :((

he was found by his partner

the pm was inconclusive and more tests are to follow

Ive only just heard this on the news, he was a terrific presenter, what sad unexpected news :o(((
