George Gilbey died aged 40 from traumatic head and torso injuries after falling 80ft, a coroner heard.
The Gogglebox star and electrician was working in Shoeburyness, Essex, on March 27 when he fell while working. He died at the scene. EGL Homecare in Shoebury, Southend-on-Sea, was cordoned off by police at the time.
It was said at a short inquest hearing held in Chelmsford that Gilbey fell through a skylight.
‘[Gilbey] was working on a roof when he fell through a plastic skylight and landed on the ground below,’ said the coroner’s officer Deborah Frost.
