The husband of British soul singer Corinne Bailey Rae has died, according to BBC News.

The body of 31-year-old saxophonist Jason Rae was found in a flat in Leeds, England, on Saturday.

Police suspect he died of an apparent drug overdose, but a post-mortem examination on his body was inconclusive. They are awaiting toxicology reports.

A 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs in connection to the case, police said, but he has since been released on bail.

Her label released the following statement: "EMI Records would like to offer its sincere condolences to Corrine Baily Rae and the Rae family at this tragic time. We ask that the media respects Corrine's privacy and that of her entire family."

Bailey Rae, 29, and her husband wed in 2001.
