Decision of His Majesty’s Coroner in the inquest of Steve Dymond 

Today, after 5 1/2 years, His Majesty’s Coroner made a finding of suicide in the highly publicised inquest of Steve Dymond who tragically took his own life after recording an episode of the Jeremy Kyle Show.
After the verdict was delivered today, Jeremy Kyle’s spokesperson issued the following statement:
Jeremy Kyle is pleased that His Majesty’s Coroner has found clearly and unequivocally that he did not in any way cause or contribute to the tragic suicide of Steve Dymond“.He is grateful that he is now exonerated of that ill-informed accusation and that his name has finally been cleared.

Out of respect for the family of Mr Dymond and the judicial process, Jeremy has always maintained that it would be inappropriate to discuss details whilst the legal inquest was ongoing and he has remained steadfastly silent in the face of lies, false accusations and unfair criticism over the last 5 1/2 years.

This has taken a huge toll on him and his family and he would like to thank everyone who has truly supported him through these tough times.”
