Freddie Starr to be buried alongside his mother

Freddie Starr will be buried with his mother.
The comedian – who passed away alone in Costa del Sol, Spain at the age of 76 last week – is set to be laid to rest with his mum in Liverpool.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Freddie adored his mum. She was the driving force behind his career by encouraging him to do gigs in pubs and clubs. Though estranged from his children and former wives, they felt it was only right he was reunited with his mum."
Freddie passed away on Thursday (09.05.19) after suffering from a heart attack, according to the post-mortem which was carried out at the Institute of Forensic Medicine.
A police insider said: "Freddie Starr died from a heart attack. There is absolutely no doubt. He had a history of heart problems and the autopsy has revealed a heart attack was the cause of his death."
Freddie had previously suffered from coronary artery disease and had a quadruple bypass following a heart attack in 2010.
Meanwhile, his carer Nelly – who is believed to have found the comedian’s body – said he had been "fine" when she left him to go to the supermarket, but had passed away in the 30 minutes she was away.
She said: "I went to the supermarket for maybe 30 minutes and came back he was dead. He was fine before. He had many problems but I never knew he was bad. He was watching TV, he never said he wasn’t OK or he wasn’t feeling well. He was playing with his cat, nothing was bothering him."
