Barrymore checks into clinic after pool death

Michael Barrymore has checked into a psychiatric hospital with stress after a man died in the swimming pool of his home.

Barrymore has checked into the Marchwood Priory, near Southampton, Hampshire.

A hospital spokesman confirmed that Barrymore had checked in, adding that he had been been treated there before.

He said the entertainer had been "under a considerable amount of stress after the last 24 hours or so".

The man who drowned in Barrymore's pool at his home in Roydon, near Harlow , Essex, was named by police as 31-year-old Stuart Lubbock.

Post-mortem tests revealed Mr Lubbock, a wholesale butcher's supervisor of Harlow, died from drowning, but further tests were being carried out.

Described as a "pleasant, sociable" man by neighbours, he died in hospital after being found early on Saturday.

Police said they are still keeping an open mind about his death.

They have continued their investigations at Barrymore's house, taking away a large green bin on a low-loader.
