Courtney, who claimed to be an associate of the notorious Kray twins, was found dead at his home on Chestnut Rise, Plumstead, in the early hours of Sunday.
A post announcing his death on his Instagram account said Courtney "took his own life".
Courtney was rumoured to be the inspiration behind Vinnie Jones's character "Big Chris" in Guy Ritchie's gangster film Lock, Stock, And Two Smoking Barrels.
He swapped his life of crime to become an author and actor, publishing six books, and starring in a film called Hell To Pay.
