Cilla Black may have fallen over shortly before she died at her Spanish holiday home, it is reported.

Medical examiners found marks on her right arm and elbow which suggest she may have had a "dizzy turn", according to The Sun.

The TV star's body is said to have been discovered by her son Bobby who the newspaper reports broke her bedroom door down when she failed to rise after an afternoon nap.

Paramedics arrived at the Costa Del Sol property around 6pm on Saturday but there was nothing they could do to save her.

A post-mortem is due to take place today but it is thought it could take several weeks for the results.
