Major update after Channel 4 star, 24, found dead alongside girlfriend’s body – as cops launched murder probe
COPS have said they are not looking for anyone else after a Channel 4 star was found dead alongside his girlfriend.
Daniel Duffield, 24, was found dead with Lauren Evans, 22, at a home in Hednesford, Cannock, at 12.30pm on Tuesday.
Detectives immediately opened a murder investigation after their bodies were discovered.
The force said post-mortems have been carried out and causes of death will be determined at an inquest.
Staffordshire Police confirmed today that they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.
Cops confirmed that a file is now being prepared for the coroner.
Specialist officers are continuing to support the families of those involved.
Detective Superintendent Nicki Addison said: “This incident has understandably devastated the families and loved ones of those involved.
“We’d like to reiterate that the families have asked for their privacy to be respected at this tragic time. Please respect that.
“And again, we’d like to remind you that speculation is unhelpful and hurtful to the families – and can hinder our investigation.
“I’d like to thank everyone who has given us information.
Mr Duffield worked for West Midlands Ambulance Service and featured in an episode of 999: On The Frontline which was broadcast in March.
The documentary series follows ambulance crews as they attend to callouts.
Daniel appeared on the show in spring this year but now all episodes have been taken off All4 as a mark of respect.
It is understood Daniel and Lauren were in a relationship, with their social media accounts littered with images of the pair together.
His final post showed them outside Wembley stadium for the Capital Summertime Ball.
“We expect the scene to be released once we’ve finished all of our investigative work and forensic examination.”
