Inquest Confirms Robin Windsor Died by Suicide as Tributes Fuel LGBT Support Push

Jurors cited alcohol at twice the drink‑drive limit plus GBL use, alongside vulnerabilities such as career setbacks, loneliness, mounting debts and inconsistent care.

Overview

  • In a verdict delivered on February 12, an inquest concluded the former Strictly Come Dancing professional took his own life after being found dead in a Shepherd’s Bush hotel in February 2024.
  • Toxicology evidence presented to the court reported a blood alcohol level about twice the drink‑drive limit and the presence of the drug GBL.
  • Former fiancé Davide Cini told ITV’s This Morning that a severe lift fall after a Blackpool show led to a costly injury and Robin’s Strictly contract not being renewed.
  • Cini said the pair remained close after their split and shared care of their dog, describing the inquest as a long journey and using the moment to promote Ask Bobby through the You Are Loved charity for targeted LGBT support.
  • This Morning host Alison Hammond recalled Windsor’s care during their Christmas special rehearsals, and Lisa Riley marked the second anniversary with a tribute reflecting concerns about his decline after leaving the show.
