A FORMER Conservative MP previously embroiled in sex and cocaine claims has been found dead.

David Warburton, 59, ex-MP for Somerset and Frome, was pronounced dead after paramedics were called to his flat in Chelsea, West London.

The Met Police said his death on Tuesday last week is being treated as unexplained but not suspicious.

Fellow former MP Simon Danczuk said: "It's such sad news. He had really got back on track after having a difficult time in politics.

"He was doing very well in business, running an energy company. He turned his life back around really.

"I met him for drinks in Belgravia a few months ago.
