DJ Steve Wright's cause of death was a ruptured ulcer in his stomach, according to his death certificate.

The long-standing presenter, who hosted shows on BBC radio for more than four decades, died suddenly in February aged 69.

The certificate stated that the causes of death were acute peritonitis and a perforated gastric peptic ulcer.

Peritonitis is an infection of the lining of the abdomen.

Wright joined the corporation in the 1970s and hosted programmes including the popular afternoon shows on BBC Radio 1 and 2.

He also presented TV shows including Top of the Pops.

His death had been registered at Westminster Register Office on 3 July by a family member.

The Metropolitan Police previously said Wright's death at a flat in Marylebone, central London, "was unexpected, but is not being treated as suspicious".

In May, Westminster Coroner's Court said in a statement: "An inquest will not be required for Mr Wright.

"The coroner has now discontinued this case."

Wright was one of radio's most famous and most popular presenters. His broadcasting career began in 1976 as part of the team at Radio 210 in Reading.

He launched Steve Wright in the Afternoon on Radio 1 in the early 1980s. It was known for its 'zoo' format, with contributions from his on-air "posse".

He presented the afternoon show on Radio 2 from 1999 to 2022.

Most recently he presented the station's Sunday Love Songs, as well as a series of podcasts and specials.

Michael Ball took over the show in June, and paid tribute to Wright, calling his legacy "immeasurable".

Wright was honoured for his services to radio in the December 2023 New Year Honours list.

Steve Wright was an enormous fat cunt. I'm pretty sure that killed him instead of muh vax.
 
Steve Wright was one of my favourite DJs, after Wogan. His death was unexpected and surprising, as he had avoided most of the vices typical of his caste and seemed both fit and healthy.

Peritonitis is an inflammation of the lining of the chest, typically attributed to some form of infection, but not always caused by it. It can be caused by severe influenza and coronavirus infections, along with a number of other systemic viral infections. It is not generally associated with ruptured ulcers, which tend to be contained within the stomach by their nature. ignore me i suck cocks.

I liked him in the 90s but I haven't listened to Radio 2 since they canned Ken Bruce.
 
He wouldn't have been a pretty sight when he was discovered. For those who don't know what a ruptured stomach ulcer looks like, watch this clip of Downton Abbey at approximately the four minute mark.

I remember listening to him as a kid in the 80s. I always liked him too. He seemed like a genuinely nice bloke. There are worse cunts at Radio One who probably deserved dying from a burst stomach ulcer.
 
Sounds like the ulcer punched through the stomach lining and he bled out. Pretty nasty, lots of blood fills the stomach and the spaces between the heart and lungs. Massive pain and inability to breathe properly because the diaphragm has no where to move. A few minutes of pain and panic until you lose consciousness and die for either blood loss or lack of oxygen.

Not the best way to go.

Public Service Notice: if you ever see anything like coffee grounds in your toilet after you take a dump go see your doctor. Not later, but like today. ASAP because whut your seeing is blood that's been through your stomach acid and come out the other side.
 
TOTP 2 was pretty dope and Wright was one of the few early Radio 1 DJs that wasn't Yewtree'd I believe RIP

Has nothing to do with myocarditis. I don't know where you are getting the idea that it does.

No it's not. It's an inflammation of the lining over the abdominal cavity.

Perhaps you are thinking of pericarditis, which is similar in presentation to myocarditis, and involves inflammation of the membrane around the heart.

Peritonitis is an almost inevitable complication of any untreated or not rapidly-enough-treated rupture or abscess in the abdominal cavity. Most common context you may have heard it mentioned is as a complication of appendicitis.
