Published 06/12/2007
The father of the man found dead in entertainer Michael Barrymore's swimming pool six years ago has been offered compensation.
Stuart Lubbock was discovered in the pool following a party and a subsequent inquest recorded an open verdict as to the cause of his death.
In a recent development, his Father Terry Lubbock has been awarded a pay out of £6,800. The payment is to be made by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).
Commenting on the offer, Mr Lubbock said: "I am delighted by the news. I'll put the money into the fighting fund for Stuart."
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the CICA added that, in order to make a payment, the authority has to be satisfied that, "on the balance of probabilities", a violent crime has occurred.
Established in 1964, CICA is a non-departmental public body that exists to manage and advise the criminal injuries compensation scheme in the UK.
