Stuart Baggs dead: Star predicted his own death as friends claim overworking

He had been working solid days ahead of the launch of a new wireless super-fast broadband internet product on Tuesday.

His parents, Rosemary and Steven, have admitted to Mail Online that their son had a huge desire to succeed, with his mum claiming Stuart had been obsessed with launching his own telecommunications firm throughout school.

Yesterday, the sad news broke that former The Apprentice star Stuart Baggs had been found dead at his home in Douglas on the Isle of Man, and though police who attended the scene stated that there was no suggestion of suspicious circumstances, the cause of the 27-year-old’s death was expected to be revealed following a post-mortem.

Other friends have now claimed that the businessman was seriously overworked and a combination of stress and insomnia may have been contributing factors. His sister also paid a touching tribute to her brother where she spoke of her pride of him and of how his death had left her “shattered”. “We are looking for for consequences of the analysis yet it’s just horrific, We are everything consequently devastated”.

“He was messaging me all night saying, “I’ve got insomnia”.

He said he was feeling ill, he told me he wasn’t drinking. To say we are all shocked and devastated is an understatement. He wasn’t feeling down or anything and he was elated for the future.

The Plymouth-born entrepreneur became well known for calling himself Baggs the Brand and saying ‘Everything I touch turns to sold.’.

Indeed, last week he gave an interview to his local newspaper, where he admitted: “I work, as my hair will tell you, at least 18 hours a day”.

A police spokesperson said there was nothing to indicate that his death was “criminally suspicious”.

Chillingly, his prediction came in the form of the words: ‘I’m not here for a long time, I’m here for a good time and I want to live hard, die young.’.

His sister Charlotte said the lack of answers was making it harder for his family to cope. Mine ring to ask what’s for dinner, where their favourite toy is or whether they can go to swimming club with their friends.
