The body of a man, believed to be missing TV presenter Mark Speight, has been found in a remote area
of London's Paddington station, police have said.

Officers are treating the death as "unexplained" but have confirmed that the man had not
been hit by a train.

Mr Speight, 42, disappeared last Monday, three months after the death of his fiancee, Natasha
Collins.

She was discovered in a bath at their flat in London after the pair had taken cocaine, sleeping
pills and alcohol.

The body of the man was found at about 1000 BST at the station.

Mr Speight's relatives have been informed of the discovery, police said, but a formal
identification has yet to take place.

*****************************************

Police have confirmed children's TV presenter Mark Speight was found hanged on the roof of a
building next to a west London railway station.

Another day for you to wonder, another day for you to mourn
It wasn't my intention to go before the coming dawn
My pain was deep within my heart and troubled head
It wasn't my intention to go without words said.

My frame of mind seemed normal, or so I heard them say
It wasn't my intention not to see another day
I did not mean to make you suffer or cause you so much pain
It wasn't my intention to never see you again.

Despair and confusion left my aching mind unsure
It wasn't my intention to suddenly close life's door
If only I could give you reasons and brush the tears away
It wasn't my intention to leave you and not stay.

I did not mean for you to grieve, now left alone to cry
It wasn't my intention to leave you, forever asking why
As the burdens of life's worries slowly ebb from my heart
it wasn't my intention to tear your soul apart

******************************************


Mark may you now find eternal Peace in the arms of Natasha.
You will so sadly missed.

To have loved someone so much you couldn't live without them

~*~*~A TRULY ONE OF A KIND GUY~*~*~

A message from the Speight family:

"On behalf of all the Speight family, we wish to convey our sincere thanks to the BBC, friends
and colleagues together with all the children and families who have supported Mark throughout his
career, and in particular during these recent difficult times.

Mark was a wonderful son and brother to his family and he will be very sadly missed.

We need to come to terms with our grief at the loss of both Mark and Natasha and would ask that you
respectfully afford us the privacy to grieve privately during this tragic time."
