Stuart Lubbock (1 October 1969 – 31 March 2001) was a meat-factory worker from Essex, England, who died under suspicious circumstances at the home of the television personality Michael Barrymore.
Lubbock was pronounced dead at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, Harlow, at 08:23 on 31 March 2001. Michael Barrymore and two others present – James Futers and Simon Shaw – reported finding Lubbock unconscious in the swimming pool of Barrymore's home in Roydon, Essex, earlier that morning. He was wearing only boxer shorts. He was discovered by the pathologist at the hospital to have serious anal injuries, with traces of ecstasy, cocaine and alcohol in his blood.
Barrymore's television career effectively ended as a result of the police investigations and legal action around the case.
