"Former Pop Idol contestant and theatre star Darius Campbell Danesh has been found dead in his US apartment room at the age of 41, his family announced today.
The singer and actor was found in Rochester, Minnesota, on August 11 – although the cause of death remains unknown.
Danesh made his first bid for fame in ITV show Popstars in 2001 with his quirky rendition of Britney Spears' Baby One More Time.
He did not make it into the band but the following year appeared on the first Pop Idol, which was won by Will Young, with Darius finishing third behind another household name in Gareth Gates.
The Scottish performer went on to forge a successful theatre career, appearing in Chicago as Billy Flynn in two runs of the production, as well as Guys And Dolls, Gone With The Wind and more in the West End.
He lived in the US and was in a relationship with Canadian actress Natasha Henstridge, whose films include sci-fi hit Species.
The couple married in 2011 at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California, but had since divorced"
