Steve Wright's brother has claimed the late radio star died due to lifestyle choices and a poor diet after it was announced he passed away on Monday, aged 69.Laurence Wright, 65, has broken his silence and dismissed claims his late sibling died "due to a broken heart" following his BBC Radio 2 afternoon slot being axed in 2022.Laurence says this wasn't the case at all and his late brother was actually glad of the rest, writes The Mirror.Today, Laurence said: "He was aware that he could have looked after himself better, in his lifestyle choices.
