Paul Cattermole’s cause of death revealed: S Club 7 singer, 46, died of natural causes just two months after pop band announced reunion tour
S Club 7’s Paul Cattermole died suddenly of natural causes at the age of 46, it was claimed today.
The singer was found dead on April 6 — just two months after he and the band announced they would be embarking on a reunion tour this fall. It still goes on without him.
His body was discovered in his ground floor flat in Wareham, Dorset, devastating his bandmates and fans.
Cattermole, who made a living as a tarot card reader after leaving the group in 2002, is said to have been “in good spirits” when he was spotted days earlier in a park close to his home.

His family and S Club released a joint statement announcing his sad passing.
They said: ‘It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved son and brother Paul Cattermole.
Paul was found yesterday, April 6, 2023, at his home in Dorset and was pronounced dead later that afternoon.
Although the cause of death is currently unknown, Dorset Police have confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances.
“Paul’s family, friends and fellow S Club members are asking for privacy at this time.”
The band paid tribute to Cattermole on social media. Alongside a black and white photo of him in the band’s heyday, they wrote, “We are truly devastated by the passing of our brother Paul. There are no words to describe the deep sadness and loss we all feel. We were so lucky to have him in our lives and are thankful for the great memories we have.

Sources close to the band say he was “excited” about their upcoming reunion tour and focused on getting fit for rehearsals that were due to begin in early summer.
While Cattermole was excited about his return to the spotlight, The Daily Mail was told his bandmates were worried about him as he seemed very quiet.
Meanwhile, insiders say the group is now determined to continue with their 11 concerts in the fall in tribute to Cattermole.
One of them said, “A dark cloud has fallen over the reunion, it should have been such a happy event, but how wonderful it would be to remember Paul.”
