Death
Protest At Michael
Barrymore
Show
The
father of a man found
dead in the swimming
pool of TV star
Michael
Barrymore
is to demand answers
outside the celebrity's
Edinburgh stage
show.
Terry
Lubbock is to protest
over the death of his
son outside the
Edinburgh Festival
Theatre on Monday, where
the entertainer is
performing in
Scrooge.
Stuart
Lubbock, 31, was found
dead at the star's Essex
home in March
2001.
Essex
Police announced in
December 2006 they were
reinvestigating the
events at the house. The
case remains
open.
It
followed calls from Mr
Lubbock for a new
inquiry.
A
lengthy investigation
was initially carried
out but no-one was
charged with any
offences in relation to
Stuart Lubbock's
death.
Since
December Mr Lubbock has
stepped up his campaign
by confronting Michael
Barrymore at a series of
book signings and
appearances.
The
celebrity, who used to
draw 12 million TV
viewers with his My Kind
Of People show, is
performing at
Edinburgh's Festival
Theatre in the lead role
of the musical
Scrooge.
Mr
Lubbock said he would be
staging a low-key
protest outside the
theatre before the 1930
GMT show, as well as
watching the star
perform in the show
itself.
A
coroner recorded an open
verdict about Stuart
Lubbock's death
following an inquest in
September
2002.
He
had been among a number
of people at a party at
Michael Barrymore's
home.
Post-mortem
examination tests showed
that he had suffered
severe internal injuries
which suggested sexual
assault.
Alcohol,
ecstasy and cocaine were
found in his
bloodstream.
Recovering
alcoholic, Michael
Barrymore, 54, is
performing at the
Edinburgh Festival
Theatre until 3
February.
