A bid for a fresh inquest into the death of a man at entertainer Michael Barrymore's house in 2001 has been blocked by the attorney general.

The body of Stuart Lubbock, 31, was found in a swimming pool at Mr Barrymore's home in Roydon, Essex.

An inquest into his death held in 2002 saw the coroner record an open verdict.

Mr Barrymore, 65, is suing Essex Police for wrongful arrest over Mr Lubbock's rape and murder. He is waiting to find out the amount of compensation owed.

Mr Lubbock's father, Terry Lubbock, 73, said he was "totally and utterly dismayed by the police and justice system".

"As far as I'm concerned it is the end. If anybody out there can do anything to keep it going I would welcome that," he added.

I get that the family is upset ... but, I think they should just accept that their kid was involved in
a high risk party lifestyle and it killed him.

I sense a pony in Mr Barrymore's future...
