The body of a British national who died suddenly in Gibraltar on Sunday, 8 September has been returned to his family. David Knowles, a newspaper journalist for The Telegraph in the UK, died while on holiday on the Rock.
British counter-terrorism police officers, who were sent in to assist the Royal Gibraltar Police in their investigation into his death, have now returned to the UK.
The news follows a post-mortem examination of the 32-year-old at St Bernard's Hospital last week.
"There continue to be no specific concerns surrounding the cause of death and Royal Gibraltar Police detectives continue their investigation," said a police statement.
David Knowles was behind a widely-listened-to podcast on the war in Ukraine and the call for assistance from counter-terrorism officers had briefly raised online speculation about the cause of death.
