It has now been confirmed that Flint took his own life by hanging himself in his £1.5 million country home.

“An ambulance was called, paramedics arrived and found Mr Flint had passed away. Police attended, all protocols were followed and the death was confirmed as non-suspicious.

Flint had been estranged from his wife, DJ Mayumi Kai, after the pair split some years ago.

At the end of his life, Flint had been dating 43-year-old Faye Kelbie, though it has been rumoured that Flint was in the process of trying to reconnect with Kai.

It’s alleged that Flint had delayed the sale of their marital home in the hopes of winning her back.

A full hearing on Flint’s death will follow on July 23.
