Graeme Turner, a businessman and former contestant on the popular TV show Dragons' Den, has tragically passed away at the age of 53. The news of his death was shared during an inquest, where it was revealed that he was found deceased in a woodland area in Pwllheli, North Wales on October 1st. According to reports, the cause of his death was suicide.
Turner first appeared on Dragons' Den in 2010, where he pitched his company that produced wallpaper kits designed to transform bedrooms into football stadiums. Despite his best efforts, he left the Den without any offers from the investors, including Peter Jones, Duncan Bannatyne, Theo Paphitis, and Deborah Meaden. However, his appearance on the show helped to raise awareness for his business.
Following his passing, tributes have poured in on social media from friends and family. His son Paul took to Facebook to share a heartfelt message about his father's passing, describing him as the "best, strongest, kindest, most loyal, and courageous dad" he has ever known. Turner's impact was also felt in the Clarkston Rangers Supporters Club, where he was a past member and fondly remembered as "Big G - The Godfather."
Dragons' Den fans can still watch Turner's memorable appearance on BBC iPlayer, but his family and loved ones will remember him for his kindness, strength, and inspiration. In the spirit of Turner's legacy, the Samaritans organization has provided resources for those in need of emotional support. They can be reached through their 24-hour helpline, email, or by visiting their website.
Turner's funeral was held on January 16th, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His story serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting one another and seeking help when needed.
