Singer and Popstars sensation left behind a six-figure fortune following his , new legal documents have revealed.

Darius, who rose to fame on ITV's , was found dead in his US apartment in August 2022 at the age of 41.

His passing was linked to the toxic effects of chloroethane, which he had been using to manage chronic neck pain resulting from car accidents in 2010 and 2021. The medical examiner ruled his death an accident.

Legal records show that the singer did not have a will, and his estate was valued at £644,050.

His family registered the details of his assets at Dumbarton Sheriff Court, confirming his occupation as a musician and his place of death as Rochester, Minnesota.

Most of his wealth came from a £510,000 property in Edinburgh, with additional assets exceeding £127,000. His artistic legacy was valued at nearly £6,000 by estate executors.

Darius' family had previously confirmed that his death was linked to respiratory arrest.

They shared: "In the days leading up to his death, Darius had been suffering from severe nerve pain in his neck following car accidents in 2010 and 2021, which was progressively 'getting worse'. He had taken pain medication, marijuana and chloroethane to manage the intensity of the pain prior to his death."

They added: "The night before Darius passed, he had dinner with close friends, who reported that 'Darius was in a lot of pain, but he was in good spirits when he was with us.' They stayed together until the early hours of the morning and made plans to meet the following day."

When he failed to show up, hotel staff were asked to check on him.

Sadly, as his family explained: "Around 11:50 a.m. on 11th August, Darius was found unresponsive in bed by the hotel staff in the apartment where he was staying.

"The Rochester Fire and Police Department pronounced Darius deceased shortly after at 12:01 p.m. The autopsy report also concluded that Darius' heart was twice the expected size. This may have contributed to his respiratory arrest."

The family emphasized that his passing was determined to be a tragic accident, with authorities confirming no suspicious circumstances.

They continued: "We will always remember Darius for his open-hearted warmth, generosity of spirit and the way he touched so many people's hearts and minds. He was an incredibly loving, caring and supportive son, brother and friend. His spirit of love and light is still with us all."

Tributes poured in from the entertainment industry, with Pop Idol stars Will Young and Gareth Gates describing him as "driven, courageous and gentle."

Hollywood actor Gerard Butler also shared his admiration, stating: "To those lucky enough to have met Darius for more than a few minutes, they were deeply moved by his infectious laugh and barely containable zest for life. He was always armed with a smile, a booming voice, and a genuinely warm embrace that few could resist - nor would they want to. He was an incredible talent, a singer whose voice touched your soul and an actor with great presence."

Darius made an impact on the music industry with his debut single Colourblind, which topped the charts in July 2002. Following his passing, the song re-entered the music charts and soared to the number one spot on iTunes.
