George Gilbey died aged 40 from traumatic head and torso injuries, a coroner heard.
The Gogglebox star and electrician was working in Essex, in March when he fell while working. He died at the scene.
It was told Gilbey fell through a skylight at a short inquest hearing held in Chelmsford.
‘[Gilbey] was working on a roof when he fell through a plastic skylight and landed on the ground below,’ said the coroner’s officer Deborah Frost.
His injuries were ‘consistent with a fall from height’, the post-mortem examination states, the BBC report.
A man was arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter but has since been released under investigation.
Gilbey appeared on the Channel 4 reality show between 2013 and 2018, and entered Celebrity Big Brother in 2014.
