Jeremy Kyle releases statement after inquest confirms verdict into death of Steve Dymond
The result of the inquest into the death of Steve Dymond days after he appeared on The Jeremy Kyle Show has been confirmed, with presenter Jeremy Kyle releasing a statement regarding the findings.
On Tuesday, September 10, coroner Jason Pegg said at the inquest that there is ‘no causal link’ between the appearance of Dymond on The Jeremy Kyle Show and his death.
The coroner ruled out Dymond’s treatment on the ITV programme as a contributory factor to his death, stating: ‘There is insufficient evidence for me to be satisfied that this was the direct cause of Steve’s death.’
Dymond, from Portsmouth, Hampshire, was suspected to have taken his own life at the age of 63 seven days after he filmed the TV programme in May 2019.
After the result of the inquest was announced, lawyers for Kyle said in a statement: ‘His Majesty’s Coroner has today clearly and unequivocally found that Jeremy Kyle did not in any way cause or contribute to the tragic suicide of Steve Dymond. He is now exonerated of that ill-informed accusation and 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.
