David Cameron Pays Tribute To Christopher Shale After Glastonbury Death

Prime Minster David Cameron has led tributes to Christopher Shale, the Conservative party member who was found dead at the Glastonbury Festival today (June 26).

Sale was found dead in a VIP toilet backstage at the festival site in Worthy Farm, Somerset.

Festival organiser Michael Eavis has been quotes as describing his death as a “suicide situation”, although police have yet to disclose a cause.

Cameron said: "A big rock in my life has suddenly been rolled away. Christopher was one of the most truly generous people I've ever met – he was always giving to others, his time, his help, his enthusiasm and above all his love of life.

“It was in that spirit that he made a massive contribution to the Conservative Party both locally and nationally. Our love and prayers are with Nikki [Shale's wife] and the family. They have lost an amazing dad, West Oxfordshire has lost a big and wonderful man and like so many others, Sam and I have lost a close and valued friend."
