The TOWIE star and businessman was found dead in his home in Essex on Thursday 21st January at 15:15 GMT.
Norcross was a member of the TOWIE cast for two years from 2011, before going on to launch various successful business ventures, including the nightclub Sugar Hut.
The venue became a fixture in Essex’s nightlife, but ultimately resulted in Norcross’s departure from TOWIE in 2013 amid concerns it would damage the brand.
On Thursday, Norcross tweeted: “At the end, remind yourself that you did the best you could. And that is good enough.” This led to concerned replies from friends and fans.
RIP Mick 💔 you was a genuinely lovely man & always looked after us, was a pleasure to have worked with you. My thoughts are with the family ❤️ pic.twitter.com/nzgkOg0Wg8

TOWIE star James ‘Diags’ Bennewith described Norcross as a “genuinely lovely man” on Twitter, one of many tributes from fellow cast-members today.
RIP Mick N.
You were a great man, an inspiration to many, always so polite and welcoming. Such a gent.
We lost a good one.
Let this be ANOTHER reason to check in on people and ask if they are ok. It’s imperative we talk.
