TWO members of ambulance service staff were interviewed by police after a 999 call made about the death of George Michael was apparently leaked.

Thames Valley Police had "sufficient suspicion" to interview the South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) staff, according to a document obtained in a Freedom of Information request made by Highbury College journalism department.

The former Wham! frontman's partner Fadi Fawaz said he found the star dead when he arrived to wake him at his home in Goring-on-Thames, southern Oxfordshire, ahead of a Christmas Day lunch last year.

The recording was said to have featured an excerpt of the conversation between Mr Fawaz and the emergency operation, and a statement issued by solicitors said Michael's loved ones were "truly appalled" that the audio recording was made public.

The SCAS investigation report, obtained by the journalism department, says that Thames Valley Police CID had "sufficient suspicion" to interview two staff members.

The police force said: "Thames Valley Police launched an investigation in May 2017 following the release of a 999 call which had been made to South Central Ambulance Service.

"A man and a woman were voluntarily interviewed under caution as part of the investigation.

"No arrests were made and no further action was taken in relation to the two people. The investigation concluded in October 2017."

SCAS said: "Following an internal investigation appropriate action has been taken in accordance with our internal processes and the matter has now been concluded."

In its report, SCAS said the investigation had been "unable to conclude as to where or how the leak of the 999 VR occurred".
