Dancing With The Stars champ's cause of death confirmed as autopsy waivered

The cause of death of Dancing With the Stars champion Cezary Olszewski has been confirmed.

The Polish dancer was found dead aged 42 at a hotel in his hometown of Ostroleka on Monday morning, much to the shock of his beloved fans. Cezary performed on the reality series from 2008 to 2010, winning the Crystal Globe in his first year with celebrity partner Magdalena Walach. He also mentored Anna Popek, Anna Nowak-Ibisz, Grazyna Wolszczak and Dorota Zawadzka during his stint on the Polish edition of the popular BBC One show.

An inspection of the place where Cezary's body has since been carried out, and the following statement has now been released by Elżbieta Edyta Łukasiewicz, a spokeswoman for the District Prosecutor's Office in Ostroleka.

'Based on the activities carried out, no traces were found that could indicate the involvement of third parties in causing the death of Cezary O. However, it was established that death was probably due to cerebral causes, i.e. cerebral stroke. Due to the above circumstances, the autopsy was waived."

Cezary, who took up dancing in primary school as a way to escape the troubles of being from a 'broken family', married his partner Aneta Gworys in 2018. The couple kept their relationship relatively private, with Cezary rarely speaking about it to the media.

The talented entertainer was also a proud member of the Odysea formation, with whom he won multiple championships and trophies.

A friend of Cezary's has since told the local media: "The fact that he didn't stay on the street was definitely influenced by the fact that apart from going to school, he had something to do after school, he had something to do - dance.' His mother was the one to convince him to attend dance classes, which is where he discovered his talent for footwork.

His very first coach, Dariusz Dabrowski, said that Cezary "quickly began to achieve success", achieving "the highest international class "S" in standard and Latin American dances" after just four years of training.

'He also played in the "Odysea" formation, with which he won the Polish champion title many times.'
