Former TV presenter Michael Barrymore is suing Essex Police over his arrest after a man was found dead floating in his swimming pool. He says it damaged his career.
The death occurred in his home, in suspicious circumstances so I think the police were right to arrest him. He was released without charge so I don't see why he should get a payout.

I could never stand the bloke anyway and wasn't his career pretty much over anyway before this?

Thread about this in Showbiz, but I'll say the same thing here - I sincerely hope he loses this action.

He's waited bloody long enough. That happened in 2001.

I reckon by the timing of this, that he's run out of money again.

Apologies. I didn't think to look there although I did check GD.

A guy was found dead and presumed sexually assaulted at the bottom of his swimming pool at his "party", Does he think that he wouldn't be investigated?

Being the owner of the property and in a case where there are few leads does he think that the police would not rearrest him?

Maybe he should have provided more information/Helped the police to piece together what happened, This is what has caused his problems and affected his career, Maybe he has something to hide.

Not the world's biggest fan of the police, but... they were quite literally just doing their job here, and doing it right.

Last time Barrymore was funny was when he used to do that number with Nicholas Lindhurst, until now.

He'd be much better shutting up and thinking about the family of the man found dead in his swimming, than himself.

I don't get why he has waited this long to try to sue Essex police if he thought he had a case....

Where do you think he liked to be ... top, middle or bottom?

It was obvious from his days of popularity that he had major psychological issues, to those who didn't take the symptoms as him just having and being a laugh.

Why? A man drowned in his swimming pool in suspicious and unsavoury circumstances, drug use was rife, and he had unexplained injuries to his rectum and he wants to sue the police for doing their job Not a hope surely?? Never felt he showed much remorse for the man's death, just played the poor me pity card.

Strange decision after all this time. If it goes to court the whole story will come out, with witnesses giving evidence etc. Would be good for the victims family to find out what really happened but can't see that it would do Barrymore any good to raise all the issues again.

The rectal injuries weren't that unexplained..... i don't think i really need to extrapolate any further.
