Businessman Drew Cockton asked companies to put steps in place so employees can feel more comfortable just days before he died.
The Wirral-based Dragons Den star's death was announced on Sunday, as his mum Kate confirmed the news in a Facebook post. She said: "We are truly, utterly heartbroken to have to tell you that our beloved Drew Peter George Cockton (my gorgeous boy) died peacefully at home yesterday. We are devastated beyond belief. Life is never, ever going to be the same again. Rest Peacefully darling boy."
Drew, 36, was the owner of candle brand Owen Drew, and triumphed on Dragons' Den last year after scooping a £50,000 investment for his business from "Dragon" Touker Suleyman. He was also an LGBTQ campaigner and on Friday evening held the second North West LGBTQ+ Business Awards, which he founded, at Liverpool's Titanic Hotel.
