Internationally renowned choreographer Liam Scarlett dies aged 35

Scarlett's position with The Royal Ballet ended last year, when the Royal Opera House, which is home to the Royal Ballet Company, said that an independent investigation had concluded.

The artist-in-residence was investigated over claims of sexual misconduct involving students but the investigation concluded there "were no matters to pursue in relation to alleged contact with students of The Royal Ballet School".

His works for The Royal Ballet included Despite, Vayamos al Diablo, Consolations and Liebestraum, Asphodel Meadows and a new production of Swan Lake.

Scarlett also worked with the English National Ballet, the New York City Ballet, the American Ballet Theatre and the Norwegian National Ballet, among others.

The Royal Opera House previously said it was made aware of the allegations in August 2019, and that Scarlett "was immediately suspended and an independent disciplinary investigation opened".
