Lizzie Cundy's brother Peter, 65, died of a sudden heart attack at home, with new documents suggesting he may have been dead for at least a day before being discovered by their 91-year-old mother, Gloria. The family has been informed of the cause of death following a coroner's report.
A source close to the family told The Sun: 'The family has been desperately waiting for news about Peter’s cause of death. After speaking with the coroner today, they have been told it was a sudden heart attack. He is most likely to have been dead for at least a day before being found by his elderly mum. It’s devastating, but his relatives have found comfort in the fact that there was nothing they could have done to save him.'
Peter, who worked in television, theatre and film, produced shows including The People Speak with Colin Firth. His mother Gloria is a friend of Queen Camilla. Lizzie Cundy, a GB News contributor, announced her brother's death last week, writing on social media: 'It is with a heavy heart and great sadness to tell you that my brother Peter has died. We as a family are heartbroken. Peter was a much-loved son, brother, and uncle. He worked in theatre and film, and had a great love of dogs and Chelsea FC. A real character and a kind soul who will be very much missed. Can’t believe he’s gone. Rest in peace, dear Pete.'
This loss comes five months after the death of Lizzie's best friend, TalkRadio star James Whale, who died at 74 following a battle with terminal cancer. Whale, who appeared on Big Brother in 2016, was first diagnosed with cancer in 2000 and had a kidney removed. The cancer returned in 2020, spreading to his kidney, spine, brain and lungs.
