Michael says he thinks he drowned but I thought autopsy confirms stuart died before being ending up in the pool
Yes something happened before he was thrown in swimming pool ,I guess
He maybe was drunk ,taking drugs ,maybe having sex or raped and was thrown in swimming pool and drown
Did he called police ,paramedical ?
Why he called the PA first ? Weird
You found dead guy in your house in the swimming pool ,what you do ? You called PA ? or paramedic and police?! And you worry about press and been question ?
The fluid in his lungs confirms he was alive and breathing when he went in the pool
Whether he is guilty I'm not sure, but he knows more than he's letting on. He keeps changing things..
spot on, they all know something. If he had compassion he would be very forward and demand answers and asking why did things go missing in the house. It might just me, but I go mad if people take things from me, even if it's a pen. It's still my property.
Have u ever heard of eye witness testimonies ? They change all the bloody time
Stuart deserves to have his story told, the world should know who did this to him. Anyone who knows and are covering for the person who did this are responsible, and i truly hope that Michael can find it in him to tell the truth about what happened that night.
He and his elites mates are guilty as fck
here's what happened it was a party were there's a lot of drink and drugs that went terribly wrong. but that is the risk you take when you partake in these things. the injuries to his rectum i would think come from some risky s*xual behaviour which again was most likely fuelled by the drink and drugs. its a tragedy that leaves them all innocent but also guilty including Stuart himself. it was played out in the press as a sleazy bit of gossip but truth is it is a cautionary tale to anyone who thinks drink an drugs are just a bit of fun. they are fun indeed but can very quickly turn the best night of your life into your worst.
He knew what happened..
The first thing you do is call an ambulance, not your PA.
He said someone was already calling the police. This was a shocking incident for Michael.
@@dannusmk1578 Shocking that he fled the scene of the crime. If he was innocent, why would he do that??
@@katonesshe's hardly alone in fleeing when innocent.
Too many odd things with this murder that the truth is a long way off still.
He reads out a letter that he thinks clears him, when all it does is to confirm the reality, that he and his friends have been great at keeping their gobs shut.
I think what's so unusual about this case is that Barrymore absolutely denies any knowledge of anything at all. The fact that it was his house, his pool, his guests...the idea that he has no clue about why or how any of it happened is hard to believe. He makes he actions even more suspicious by not phoning the police.
He said if you listened he’s responsible
He knows exactly what happened
He doesn’t know exactly what happened
@@S-by7iyHe does. It's his own home. He would know for sure what happened!!!
He does. It was his house!!!....His party!!...@@S-by7iy
@@steveherbert9575 You're serious? A house that size- many people there having a party. So if he was in the kitchen he should know what had gone on in another room or outside? Right...logical.
@@itwerealright If something happened in your home and you weren't in that actual room, then one of your friends would tell you, so you would know for sure what happened!!!
What people don't know is that Michael has asked for an independent police force to come in and take over the case and he has met Stuarts dad 3 times , now if stuarts dad thought michael was guilty he would not have met him 3 times
yes he would
1st police on scene have admitted failures allowing scene to be corrupted and tidying to to take place far too early.. it was bungled by then causing irreparable damage to the case. I hope the truth comes out whatever it is and hope MB wasn't involved
He met him to keep the public interested in his son's story not because he thought barrymore was innocent, even if he was, he knows what happened and has covered it up.
He will take the truth to his grave.
Celebrity fans saying they feel sorry for him. You should be feeling sorry for the poor Lubbock family who have never received justice. Barrymore sees a body floating in the pool but rather than ring 999 rings his PA 🤔
Exactly 💯, it's awful not knowing what happened to your loved one, it haunts you forever.
There was always something deeply sinister about him, a seedy hidden darkness thinly veiled behind the persona of an affable TV presenter, and now here he is interviewing Michael Barrymore
@MichaelBarrymore-ut6gj HELL YEAH DAWG
Very good😊
Took an hour to call an ambulance
He knows exactly what happened.
Just NO. STOP.
@Squish0353 I wish Barrymore's grotesque self pity party would.
He certainly knows more than he has let on. One can only imagine the reasons for withholding such information.
How do you know that?
Not necessarily, 9 people at the party and also assuming it wasn't the smallest house, he really may not have
Some great responses. Piers Morgan.
"You went from superstars to rock bottom" then the clip of body in the pool, with "horrific internal injuries" cut to agents' response, "I couldn't take it all in"!..Brilliant editing....
😒🤢
His answer about the drugs was a discrace.
Thankfully this guy will never be on primetime telly again
you find someone unconcious in your pool either dead or near it and the first thing you do is phone your agent then leave! never occurred to him to phone an ambulance! is that the behaviour of an innocent man?
He knows who is responsible.
Yes I agree
Every time he looks in the mirror
you don`t know, its comments like that make s it worse.
@@brian.7966 no what makes it worse is Stuart Lubbocks dad died not knowing what happened to his son.
Rubbish!
‘ insufficient evidence ‘ is the key, everyone in that house knew what happened
They even removed the evidence, the police allowed Barrymore’s manager to look after the house when they left - the object that killed Stuart was ‘lost’
I actually met him in blackpool years ago with boys from my work he asked to tag along i said we are goin on a massive pub crawl he said im no strranger to bein on a few benders
Omg, that’s really got double meaning was he on Stuart’s back with a thermometer 🌡 was he the cause of the broken blood vessels found on Stuart’s shoulders and in his eyes.
He fled the crime scene. If he was innocent, why would he do that??
And check into a clinic with a penis problem.
Fear of uncovering what was occurring at the party maybe. But fear nonetheless. Very sad. I just started watching kids say the funniest things and then my mum told me this !
Damage control it was wrong he admits that
@ He was wrong on so many things that night and keeps changing what he said.
This obviously wasn’t the first time something went on similar to this back in that house and whoever actually done it will get karma of the worst kind.
He left at 5;45 and the body was spotted at 5. His ex wife said Barrymore would spike drink. So all his lovies, Fiona Phillips just remember that as your sons grow. There will be scum sniffing around your grown up children. He knew his role, his actions, and who did this but never helped that poor father. The man was raped. So Barrymore had sick friends
He also fled the crime scene. If he was innocent, why would he do that??
The victim was 31. He made his own choices
Leave Michael Barrymore alone. He’s innocent. For crying out loud leave him alone.
😅
Unfortunately the creep won't be reading this, but thankfully it ruined his reputation
Honestly he sounds guilty, from his own words there talking to pierce, he called his PA not an ambulance or cops, his PA, I think more were also responsible tho, but he was involved and not just knows who is responsible but is responsible himself too
Totally agree
Didn't he do runner also?
@@andrewjames9996 yes he did
He’s innocent pure and simple ❤
When you are hosting guests, you should have a duty of care. I have a small flat but if someone disappeared for 5 mins I would check on them, let alone a big house.
If Mr Lubbock died of drowning, if you knew that there was an open body of water and people were taking substances, then you are in fact responsible. It's not a free for all when someone crosses your threshold, much like a driver is responsible for passengers who don't buckle up when the car is in motion.
Michael Barrymore may be innocent in the court of law, but he is not a good person by allowing people to take drugs, have rough sex/ be raped in his home and drown. Just degenerate behaviour at the bare minimum.
Hopefully, he's had a shock and doesn't prove to be a nuisance going forward, assuming he wasnt directly involved in his death.
I don't think he was. But he's been awful in the way he handled it.
@MichaelBarrymore-mo6to😭😭😭 you buggered him then through him in the pool
@MichaelBarrymore-mo6to I’m scared to tell you my location as I don’t want to be buggered 😂😂
@MichaelBarrymore-mo6to ok lord Barrymore
100% Respect to you
He’s absolutely wasted.
It's called prescribed medication!
@@Martin-z1p4s Still off his tits
I do believe Michael is INNOCENT… NOT GUILTY.
I don't think he's responsible for what happened, but I think he knows who is
I agree with you.
Well if he was there and in the same room yes he is partly responsible as he didn't have a duty of care to save him... i believe like many others that he even took part tbh, coz the way he acts in interviews is just too shady...
@@DaLilVivi96 He always seems too defensive and cagey for someone who is truly innocent
@@johnmercer3571Yes I agree too, he definitely knew what happened. It's his own home for gods sake, he would know for sure.
What happened to Stuart only at least two men can do. There was 4 men at the house. Michael Barrymore was one of them.
All I know is when I was a kid in the 90s he was known as The Man
Drugs, alcohol and sex. This wasn’t the first time he had been involved with parties with drugs, sex and alcohol. He has no defense with the company he keeps.
So? They’re all consensual adults
@@ThePrincessnady1stuart wasn't. They'd drugged him, abused him, and left him to die. They should all have served time.
If any other folk , left their house they been in Custody.
I don't think anybody thinks Barrymore killed the guy, but he knows what happened for sure.
If he is innocent ,why he run away ? He should cooporate and tell all what happened ,especially happened in his home
apparently he wanted to avoid the press. but whats more important?! the guy knows something
Just because it can't be proven doesn't mean your not guilty! You look guilty you sound guilty
Thankfully you’re not a judge as I suspect you would find them guilty before they’d completed the oath.
Piers Morgan.... the ultimate pot stirer - everything he sticks his nose into, goes from bad to worse.
Im in the minority but I think Michael is a good man. I've no idea what happened but i dont believe he's guilty of anything.
so the first thing he did when he saw him the pool was to call his PA
he needs to stop this poor me attitude he isnt the victim
dont believe him for a second
Would hardly just call it just a problem at the house either.
The first thing he done was got someone who was trained in cpr you moby
He said I'm entitled to hold my head high,then he bows his head in shame
Yes strange ,who you would call first ?
Paramedic,police?
Especially he claim that he is innocent., if he didn't do it he should say who done it if he knows
Too much time it's gone ,so 😢,😢😢😢
@@katarzynamariamuszynska2811 he doesn't know, he's not guilty just because the party was at his house ffs
A “100% innocent” person, has not “f**ked up.” A 100% innocent person doesn’t need to read letters stating evidence was insufficient. A 100% innocent person doesn’t stay silent in a coroner’s court.
A 100% innocent person, who was the host of a party, caught up in this, would want to fathom out what truly happened! He needs to stop being sketchy and dishonest (which is at best what he’s being)!
Rectal injuries? answer that
He could’ve been SA’D before he died even weeks before ?
No they were caused by the swimming pool thermometer
Setup, answered.
He had sex, it’s not known if it was consensual or not.
It's clear what happened , went back to his for a party which they passed drugs and booze around. The young lad has either had far too much drink and drugs and fell in and drowned or he's had sex with someone there by the pool and then drowned after or he's has sex with a guy and the other guy didn't want anyone to find out so they drowned him (which I don't think).
I honestly think this young lad has had too much drink and drugs and he's collapsed in the pool after having sex since he was in his boxer shorts.
This was the end for this man. I actually never watched him, and disliked his shows. So it was no loss to me when he disappeared from the tv screen.
His BF at the time was left at the club, and Barrymore took a cab home with Stuart (and others). His BF arrived back later at the house, and was obviously angry. I've heard various theories since then, but I would lean towards Barrymore's Ex and another raping Stuart, and then after realizing he was dead, threw him in the pool. Barrymore wasn't involved, and fled the house once he realized Stuart was dead, and had been told what happened. At the very least, he knows exactly what went on, and who was involved. That or he was fully involved in the rape & murder. Either way, he's a liar, and a total narcissist.
There was fluid found in his lungs on all 3 reports which at very least proves he was alive and breathing when he was in the pool
he left his house after the incident. who does that.
Who doesn’t?
@@S-by7iySo you would leave your house if a tradegy happened at your home. That says a lot about you, doesn't it!!!
A bit like Barrymore then are you?!!
@@steveherbert9575 is there a law that states you must reside by a dead body in your house?
@@S-by7iy Of course not, but common sense tells you not to flee, for gods sake. Are you always this stupid!
@@S-by7iy no, but if you had any decency, you would stay and wait for emergency services. Also, if you were innocent and had nothing to hide, you would say.
Well, I would say this - I've lived there for 18 years, and in 1997 no one died. In 1998, no one died. In 1998, no one died. In 1999, no one died. In 2000, no-one died. In 2001... someone died. In 2002, no one died. In 2003 there was the incident with the pigeon. In 2004, no one died. In 2005, no one died. In 2006, no one died. In 2007... I mean, I could go on.
Look how angry hes getting. Not a nice man at all, that young man was raped and thrown in the pool. Barrymore is not innocent, he knows what went down. Vile man.
If he didn't do this, I think he might know who done it
He's still being blamed for something he was never charged with. Just remember do something right like asking someone back to your house for a party, and something terrible happens , just because it's it happens in your house. House does not mean it's your responsibility or fault 😢
@lizarmitage2309 OK if you say so
because he was never charged with doesn't mean he is not guilty
Maybe he didn't kill the guy ,but he can be blame like ( accessory ) I am not sure how you call this
Strange things he done makes him guilty ,at least in my opinion and I am entitled to the opinion ,you might not agree with me
For me was strange that ,you found dead person in your swimming pool in your house and you call the PA because you worry about paparazzi and interviews and media ???
You should call the medics and police
And another thing that he gone ,hide ,he didn't want to be question
If you are not guilty,no need to worry about anything ,he would anything in his power to solve the situation and at least this dead guy family knows what happened
Sorry its my opinion
He might not be guilty. OK
The guy get drunk and could fall to swimming pool and it was accident
The young man was gay which is why he was in a gay club with gay people . No doubt after coke there was a bit of fisting
Were you there?
Always the victim, never to blame.
This man doesn't even take responsibility for this life being lost at his home. Despicable.
Chubby Brown's old joke. "Barrymore says he cant swim his 6'5 he could of walked into the deep end"
😂😂😂
He knows who done it
He was setup to be humbled, why else would TV elites put an NDA on him?
Sounds like steward was targeted and was drugged . They did horrible sexual acts to him. He then died and to cover it up they threw him in the pool.
Human garbage, a guy was physically destroyed by his mates who covered up a murder.
He definitely paid off everyone that was in the house
Self obsessed. Who the fuck calls their "PA" before an ambulance.
It reminds me of the Masseuse who found Heath Ledger calling freakin Mary Kate Olsen instead of 911.
Exactly. That is completely sociopathic.
Someone else was calling the police
31 year old dies at a Barrymore pool party
Choo Choo.
CC.
33.
HES GUILTY END OF 😢
he focus's more on his own innocence............ not the death of the young man
The fact that he ran for help rather than jumping in straight away?
He ran to agent or manager didn't he? Most people I assume would say "Some died or possibly murdered at my house, I like to know by whom if they didn't do it?"
creep
he ran away creep
He screams guilty
He’s obviously innocent
How is it obvious??@@S-by7iy
He was setup you clown, why else would media elites put an NDA on him!
Guilty as fuck the bum bandit more like !!
@@S-by7iy He's pissed in this interview.
He's a disgrace blaming medics for thr rectal injuries DISGRACEFUL
I cannot STAND Piers Morgan - so glad Michael won't be bullied by him.
Guilty all over his face and demeanour. He knows exactly what happened. First time I've heard that drowning causes anal injuries.
Really!? Where did you hear that?
Were you there?
It was reported that the young man had severe anal injuries. Michael was more concerned about his career, and running to see his PA
@@taraalan1131 ‘it was reported’ you dont know, you weren’t there, you have no idea whether Michael had anything to do with this other man’s behaviour. If you don’t really know don’t spread rumours
You have an evil tongue. You don’t have evidence, you weren’t there.
But He said Stewart was floating face up. If he drowned he would be face down?
Why didn’t he call 999?
He was probably panicking at what the police would find
No excuse
He was involved and is trying to make himself into the victim. Disgraceful man.
I think he knows
No evidence is not proof of innocence either So why hold that letter up as your shield to hide behind, in an attempt to show you innocent. Guilty or not only those there know what happened but you ran away and ranks were closed behind you protecting the guilty. Had you helped bring about justice for Stuart and his family then we would have respected you. I for one have never watch you on TV since nor ever will.
I think Essex Police stated that it wasn't due to lack of evidence but administrative errors a couple of years ago.
@MichaelBarrymore-mo6to obviously you didn't read it right !!!!!!
So, this Barrymore bloke got away without any responsibility in the murder of Mr. Lubbock. Poor young man, very sad. Why is Barrymore in prison then ??
They drugged and raped that poor guy. Its so tragic. They will have to answer for it one day.
Were you there?
No one was there , its all speculation.
Him having severe internal injuries and dying isn't speculation @@dianesteel5038
He fled the scene and the version or events vs the autopsy do not match, If he wasn't such a big celebrity at the time he would be in jail.
Speculative waffle, Barrymore was setup.
So many questions... We will never know the answers
Alot doesn't add up, call his mate and not jump in and start getting Stuart out, calling his PA and not a Ambulance, Rectal Damage then in the Pool, a Pool that has Chlorine, Chlorine disrupts DNA Readings.
Michael did nothing wrong. People have to take responsibility for there well being. He’s was high on drugs and he drowned
michael said I saw him in the pool and he wasnt moving "much?" why didnt he jump in to try and do anything?
he made my dads career he’s innocent
Why not ring 999
Yes you would do so immediately if you saw a dead guy floating in water in any location.
You call 999 no excuses
The real man was just coming out towards the end. Very angry person.
I dont think he is guilty at all. They were all doing drugs and having crazy parties. Obviously michael did some bad things but i dont think he was involved in the guys death. Also taking drugs and going into water is a very bad idea.
I miss Barrymore on saturday night tv he was always great tv.
Its obvious he knows more than he says and it was s cover up. They drugged and raped that poor boy. 😮
I think they were all on drugs, had sex with him, he died after or during from suffocation and they then could of possibly thrown his body in the pool to look like he died in there from drowning.
I don't know but something is terribly wrong here. And I think it's a major secret between Michael and another guy that they will take till death.
...."that family deserve proper answers"............... yeah, from you & your mates.
He had a party, a grown man came to it and took drugs. The man died. Barrymore didn't murder him. Ant mcpartlin drunk and drived and he's one of the UKs biggest TV presenters. Barrymore panicked and fled the scene-people don't always react in the best of ways when they are in shock. We need barrymore back on TV where he belongs.
Celebs are broken. Piers Morgan is a knob!!!
Who knows??? So many people being judgmental.. were we there????
Of course people are judgemental, a young man died, think about that...
Fuck off. He is a public figure, he should've known better. He is a fucking prick anyway. Fuck him and his shitty cringy programs for morons....
So is he really leading us to believe the guy fell into the pool and died?
Run me through what happened that night? was the question.
But Barrymore only tells you what happened after Stuarts body was found in the pool with drugs in his system after being sexually assaulted.
Come on, Micheal.
TELL THE TRUTH!!!!!!!
How come he never rang 999 before his pa ?
Either Michael is guilty or he knows who did it and is covering for them. Michael is not innocent.
I have a feeling it was a joint enterprise with Barrymore boyfriend and a house guest. Barrymore paid them off or they go to the press.
I think Micheal is guilty, or he is called lingo for his boyfriend at the time the estate agent
@@andrewjames9996 yes I am of the same opinion definitely joint enterprise. Micheal was the ringleader and I think it was his idea to throw him in the pool to get rid of all the evidence Dna
@@Cc1946 Him hiding drugs rather than get Lubbock out the pool, is very odd after he has been dead for several hours. I doubt the police would of cared about the cocaine in Barrymore's house unless there some taken by Lubbock. I don't believe that no-one saw nothing nor do I believe he drowned like Barrymore told Piers Morgan. Barrymore is and was all me, me, me on Piers Morgan same when he did the speech at the University. Was their hush money and his late wife wrote an intriguing tell all book.
I don't know what happened but why is everyone so secretive? If someone had compassion they would of grassed or even Barrymore assisting the police further he is shady.
From my experience of being burgled, the police told me to stay put indoors. no one leaves house until the police arrived as it now officially a crime scene. The coroner was probably bribed as evidence was bungled. Alex Belfield didn't help either, he said that Lubbock was gay and the nightclub was a gay club, in which a lot people said it was not a gay club.
2 were gay at that party. One was Michael. So if it wasn't him then it's the other guy. Or it was a straight guy that didn't want to be called out for having gay sex. He knows what happened and he knows who could of done it if not who has done it. The fact he was found just in his boxers is the main thing in all of this... so he died after having sex...
Every time he tells the story it’s different. I reckon he saw the fella get bummed to death
Possibly, he did get his PA to remove pool items from the scene so he knows what implements were used on Stuart.
Clapping wtf is happening
I concur with a reader above.....Michael was not sober giving this interview. He's slurring his words and his eyes are glazed and he is using offensive language
Such a shame what happened that night. I don’t think Michael is guilty of anything sinister
The public never wanted his shows cancelled, many still would love to see him on TV.
No comments??
Lives in hope his career will kick off he means. A NARCISIST 100%
Not sure he is innocent, he protests too much and his language is not appropriate
Oh come on. That's a real silly comment.
@@D5DRIFTis it really though have you heard all the details
He is 100% innocent, he has nothing to do with his actions
Let's imagine what your language would be like if your career and life was ruined and you were accused off murder!
Totally agree why is he even suggesting that someone out there still knows something? If you found this man in your pool while everyone was inside would you not assume that it was all an accident ? The guys on drugs and accidentally drowns… that could very well happen yet Barrymore still believes someone knows something that he doesn’t - does he not know any of his guests well enough to help the police find an answer? …. Sounds like there was a few involved in this including Barrymore and their all covering for one another with the same story
Stop with the speculations he never knew what happened to that man but because it happened at his house he’s liable. It’s a sad situation all round
Is there anywhere you can watch full episodes anymore?
He said he could not swim but barrymores wife said he could thats your answer he knew what happened that night he caused it
Just like the Prince who can’t sweat.
