Geri Horner mourns the sudden death of her brother Max aged 54

Watford-born singer Geri Horner has been left “utterly broken” following the sudden death of her brother.

The 54-year-old collapsed at his home in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, last week and was being treated in intensive care following the fall before he tragically passed away.

Police said Max, who worked for an eco-friendly technology firm, had been taken to Watford General Hospital after being found at his home.

A Hertfordshire Constabulary spokeswoman said: “Police were called at 9.40am on Wednesday 17 November to report the concern for welfare of a man at a residential property in Berkhamsted.

“The man was located and taken to hospital for treatment, where he sadly later died. His death is being treated as non-suspicious and will be referred to the coroner.”
