Police claim no charges to be brought over DJ Greening death

Police have said that no-one will be prosecuted over the death of former Radio 1 DJ Kevin Greening.

A post mortem found that Greening, 44, died from a drug overdose in December, at a time when he had been a presenter on London's Smooth Radio.

A 51-year-old man was arrested at the DJ's London flat and cautioned for drug possession but no further charges will be brought, the BBC has reported.

A police spokesman is quoted as saying: "We can confirm that, following consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service, no charges will be brought regarding responsibility for the death of Kevin Greening.

"A 51-year-old man who was arrested at the time has been cautioned for possession of Class A substances - cocaine and ecstasy - and a Class C substance, cannabis."

Greening was found dead in his Wandsworth flat on December 29th.

An inquest into his death is now due to take place at Westminster's crown court on June 3rd.
