    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The former Radio 2 DJ Steve Wright died from a ruptured ulcer in his stomach, according to his death certificate.

    A perforated ulcer is a rarer complication when the lining of the stomach splits open.

    The Metropolitan police previously said Wright’s death at a flat in the Marylebone area of central London “was unexpected, but is not being treated as suspicious”.

    Wright stepped down in September 2022, replaced by Scott Mills in a schedule shake-up, but continued to present Sunday Love Songs on BBC Radio 2.

    At the time of his death, Tim Davie, the BBC director general, paid tribute, saying: “All of us at the BBC are heartbroken to hear this terribly sad news.” He added: “Steve was a truly wonderful broadcaster who has been a huge part of so many of our lives over many decades.

    Ken Bruce, who spent three decades presenting the mid-morning time slot on Radio 2, said he was “totally shocked”.
