Quote :: Former Apprentice star Stuart Baggs has been found dead on the Isle of Man, police have confirmed.

The 27-year-old's body was found by police after they were called to a property on Central Promenade in Douglas at 09:00 BST.

A police spokeswoman said the cause of death was "unknown" but not thought to be suspicious.

The Plymouth-born entrepreneur lived in the Isle of Man for most of his life and ran a telecommunications company.

He was the youngest ever candidate when he appeared on the BBC One show in 2010, at 21 years old.

The police spokeswoman said there was "nothing to indicate that his death is criminally suspicious at this time".

The Ramsey resident, who was fired in the semi-final, became famous for his one liners which included "Everything I touch turns to sold" and "I'm Stuart Baggs the brand".

The series was eventually won by 30-year-old investment banker Stella English from London.

Baggs launched his company Bluewave Communications in 1997 and had held a press conference on Tuesday to launch his latest product on the Isle of Man - a home hub.

He tweeted about the success of the launch on Wednesday.

Police said the death will be fully investigated on behalf of the Coroner
