David Cameron said he was "devastated" to hear of the death of Christopher Shale, his constituency chairman, who was found dead in a portable toilet at Glastonbury Festival.
In a statement, the Prime Minister said Mr Shale was a "close and valued friend" and a "big rock" in his life.
Mr Shale, 56, who was the party chairman in Mr Cameron’s Witney constituency, was found dead in a toilet in the site’s VIP area at 9am.
He was featured in an article in today's Mail on Sunday which published a memo written by Mr Shale saying there was little reason to join the Conservative party.
The festival organiser Michael Eavis spoke of his sadness over the death during a press conference later.
The 75-year-old farmer was told it was suicide - but police said it was still too early to say, while friends of Mr Shale insisted he had had a heart attack.

He was 56, hardly elderly. Also, this was a public toilet. I can’t imagine him doing that...it would be believable if it was at home. I think it was a hit.
“Who does Number Two work for?”
‘That’ being suicide as was mentioned in the article.
Yep, hard as a golf ball, and twice the size. The splash actually got water on the floor.
I would imagine that they’ll do an autopsy. The findings should be coming out in the next two weeks sometime.
I used the example of an EMT commenting about the large number of dead people they kept finding in bathrooms. You don’t have to be elderly to die.
