Reggae star’s family wants death details

The singer, whose real name was David Emmanuel, died of a single stab wound through the heart after four Metropolitan Police officers executed a search warrant at his Surrey home early on Tuesday morning.

His family has been told that he stabbed himself while making a cup of tea despite officers still being in his home.

They are demanding a public inquiry into how he died.

Police watchdog the IPCC has launched an investigation into the death. Its commissioner, Mike Franklin, said: “I send my condolences to Mr Emmanuel’s family and friends.”

In September last year the star appeared before magistrates charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine.
