A spokeswoman for Dorset Coroner’s Office said: “We confirm that Mr Cattermole died from natural causes and our investigations have concluded.
“As his death was from natural causes there will be no inquest.”

The rest of the pop group - Rachel Stevens, Tina Barrett, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh, Jo O'Meara and Hannah Spearritt - paid tribute in a moving statement on Instagram.
"We are truly devastated by the passing of our brother Paul," they said.
"There are no words to describe the deep sadness and loss we all feel.
"We were so lucky to have him in our lives and are thankful for the amazing memories we have.
"He will be so deeply missed by each and every one of us."
"We ask that you respect the privacy of his family and of the band at this time," added the singers.
S Club 7 found fame in the late 90s with a string of hits including Bring It All Back, Never Had A Dream Come True, Two In A Million and S Club Party.
