Smiley was said to have plunged a calving knife into his own heart at his Surrey home as police officers waited to arrest him on suspected fresh drugs charges on March 15th.

The Voice reports that family members and fans of the Cockney Translator star refuse to believe Smiley - real name David Emmanue l- would have taken his own life and are calling for the officers present to be investigated.

One 'Campaign for Justice for Smiley Culture' group member commented “This is the same Conservative Government, that put to death many of the young Black men in Brixton back in the eighties, it is the same Conservative government that is doing it again.

 But we black people of Jamaican parentage, not going to make this happen again. It s payback time,”

Another said “Im wondering who else was in the house at the time of the raid, i cant see smiley stabbing himself through the heart that is madness, and it doesn't make sense”.

An inquiry into the singers death has already been launched by The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) and Mike Franklin, IPCC Commissioner for the south east has said the planning of the stars arrest is being scrutinised as are the actions of the officers present
