Dorset Police said: “We can now confirm that following further liaison with the Coroner’s Office, it has been confirmed that no further police assistance is required and our enquiries have concluded.”

It comes after the county’s coroner service revealed Paul’s cause of death for the first time after his death on April 6.

A spokeswoman told The Sun: “I can confirm that Mr Cattermole died from natural causes and our investigations have concluded.”

It means no inquest will be held into the death of the Reach, Don’t Stop Movin’ and Bring It All Back hitmaker.

S Club 7, formed in 1998, announced on Valentines Day they were reuniting for a 25th anniversary tour.

It has been renamed the Good Times tour in tribute after the 2001 track Paul sang lead on – but ex-girlfriend Hannah Spearitt, 42, has dropped out.

On Sunday, they revealed the UK concerts starting in October will go ahead after the band took time out to mourn their “big brother”.

Jon Lee, 41, said in the Instagram video: “In all honesty we’ve been in a bit of shock and it’s taken a while for us to find the right words to describe our brother Paul.”

Rachel Stevens, 45, added: “He’s always going to be with us. We’re just going to keep his memory alive and share it with you.”

Tearful Jo O’ Meara, 44, said: “ Whenever Paul would walk into the room, you’d definitely know he was there because he would light it up with humour and love.”

Bradley McIntosh, 41, said: “No one could ever replace our Paul. He lives on inside each and every one of us.”

Tina Barrett, 46, added: “It’s just really sad. It’s really, really hard to process it right now.”

Paul dated bandmate Hannah between 2001 and 2006 after meeting as teens at the National Youth Music Theatre.

They reconciled for a number of months in 2015.

The day after Paul died —  six months before the group’s sold-out tour was set to begin — Hannah woke up to a text message from the band’s tour manager saying she had  “very sad and tragic news”.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Hannah said: “I called the number and was told, ‘Paul has sadly passed, Paul has died’.

“I couldn’t make sense of it and had so many questions. I was trying to process it but I just couldn’t.

“He was my first true love. I think it was something that grew from a solid friendship.

“I’m glad I had that first time round. I was completely in love with him — probably more so than he with me.”

Paul left the band in 2002 and the couple called it quits four years later.

Hannah added: “Paul never wanted fame and he became increasingly unhappy.

“I just wanted a little bit more of a faster pace of life and Paul was more of a deep thinker, and probably a lot more philosophical than I am.”
