Apprentice star Stuart Baggs died because of asthma condition

The former Leeds Metropolitan University student, who ran a communications firm, the youngest candidate to appear on the show in 2010 at the age of 21.

The 27-year-old entrepreneur passed away in Douglas, Isle of Man last week and a statement released by the Isle of Man Constabulary earlier today (06.07.15) has confirmed that the cause of death was in fact the common respiratory condition.

‘We extend our thoughts to the family at this sad time and on their behalf I would request that they are now left in peace to grieve as a family.’.

“Without one, people are fourtimes more likely to be admitted to hospital for their asthma”. He tweeted about the project a day before his death. Not knowing what or why makes it all the harder. If someone with the condition comes into contact with an irritant – known as a trigger – it can set off their asthma symptoms, or makes them worse. “My honest condolences to his family and friends RIP one of the stand out characters of The Apprentice“.

His most memorable quotes included “Everything I touch turns to sold” and “I’m Stuart Baggs ‘The Brand” – I’ve got a certain type of charisma.’.

He made it to the penultimate stage, the interviews with Lord Sugar’s advisers, where he was knocked out.

“Asthma has increased significantly in recent years, with 235 to 300 million people being diagnosed around the world in 2011, while causing 250,000 deaths”. Interviewed him on You’re Fired and he was amusing and self-effacing.

Stuart had lived on the Isle of Man for most of his life, but was born in Plymouth.
