The investigation into the death of George Gilbey, who fell from a roof he was working on last year, is now being led by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
The 40-year-old was on a job in Shoeburyness, Essex, on 27 March 2024, when he fell to his death.
An inquest has previously heard that he had been working on a roof when he fell through a plastic skylight.
In a statement, Essex Police said two men who had been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter would face no further police action.
“Essex Police have confirmed their investigation into the death of George Gilbey last year has concluded,” the force said.
As a result, the HSE will now lead the investigation into the incident.
HSE inspector Natalie Prince said: “We have been a part of this inquiry from the outset, and we will continue to thoroughly investigate George’s tragic death as the lead agency.
“This will aim to establish if there have been any breaches of health and safety law.
“We are in regular contact with George’s family and our thoughts remain with them at this time.”
Gilbey, who appeared on Gogglebox and Celebrity Big Brother, had been working as an electrician on a warehouse project at the time of the tragedy.
