UK counter-terrorism officers who were drafted in to assist the Royal Gibraltar Police (RGP) investigation have returned home.

A post-mortem examination took place at St Bernard’s Hospital in the British overseas territory on September 12th and a coroner’s investigation is under way.

The RGP said there are no specific concerns surrounding the cause of death and the investigation continues.

After Mr Knowles’s death, a family spokesman said: “We note the statement from the RGP today about David, particularly the assertion that ‘there are no specific concerns at this time with regard to the death’.
