The husband of Coronation Street actress Carol Royle died after diving into a freezing outdoor swimming pool at his local David Lloyd leisure centre, MailOnline can reveal.
Julian Spear - a music industry legend who made stars out of the Boomtown Rats and The Stranglers - had seen steam rising from the pool and assumed it was heated - as it was every other time he had used it over the last four years.Mr Spear, 74, was able to drive home safely after his swim at David Lloyd's Hampton branch in West London.
He died the following day on Monday due to the internal bleeding he had suffered being located in a part of the brain that was inoperable. 'He was the healthiest person you could meet, he ate organic wholefood. He was a keen jogger, he would run every day. He used to cycle to the shops rather than drive and he'd go for a walk after every meal.

'But certainly nobody told Julian there was an issue with the pool's heating at reception or any other time before he jumped in.
'Bob Harris said he was a man of warmth, integrity and love. Cheryl Crow saw him as one of her family, they loved each other and had worked together for more than 30-years. She's absolutely heartbroken.
