Cable’s girlfriend quizzed over death
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 10 June 2010
The girlfriend of Stuart Cable has been interviewed by police as part of the ongoing inquiry into the former Stereophonics drummer’s death. As previously reported, Cable was found dead at his home on Monday morning, though police have said there were no suspicious circumstances.
Rachel Jones, who found Cable’s body, was reportedly asked about her partner’s alcohol consumption in the days leading up to his death, amid claims that he had been drinking heavily over the weekend and choked after vomiting in his sleep. She was also asked if he had taken any other substances.
A source told The Mirror: “Rachel is devastated. They’d become close in a short time and she hoped they had a future. They were with each other on Sunday night and had stayed up late”.
Yesterday Cable’s family issueed a brief statement, saying: “On Monday we lost not just a rock star but a father, son and brother”. Meanwhile, fans have piled flowers on top of Cable’s car, which remains parked at his local pub, the Welsh Harp Inn in the village of Llwydcoed, where he left it on Sunday evening.
A post-mortem examination began yesterday at the at Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil, though it may be six weeks before toxicology results are returned and the official cause of Cable’s death can be revealed.
