The choice was mine and mine completely
I could have any prize that I desired I could burn with the splendor of the brightest fire Or else--or else I could choose time Remember I was very young then And a year was forever and a day So what use could fifty, sixty, seventy be? I saw the lights and I was on my way And how I lived! How they shone! But how soon the lights were gone! Tim Rice |

I'm not sure about something fishy as such, but there are a couple of things I find odd. His partner tweeted and mentioned finding George dead "first thing in the morning." Yet the paramedics weren't called until sometime between 1:30pm and 2pm. No matter what time you get up, 1:30-2pm is nowhere near first thing in the morning.
Anyway i don't follow these 'fishy' conspiracy theories off Twitter! The man died on Christmas day and as yet all anyone knows is 'no suspicious circumstances' and possibly major heart attack. Exact cause and time of death will be established before long and people should pay more heed to a Coroners report than Twitter! |

Well I thought his death was rather strange as well.
The boyfriend is spotted christmas Eve by his house so you would think he spent the night there. Which begs the question how did he not notice his boyfriend george was dead until christmas day afternoon? George was also absent from church on Christmas Eve which he was in the habit of doing , leading me to wonder if he was in bed dead or dying already , long before Christmas Day afternoon, if this was the case, then why did the boyfriend go out that evening and not call for an ambulance? I will be interested in knowing where the boyfriend stayed overnight. Finally the boyfriends message stating that he found George dead in bed and that he had died peacefully, if he came upon him dead in bed (unless he was there at the time) how would he know the singer had died peacefully? |

There's no reason to think that the whole family wasn't there. We, via the press, were obviously the last to know he'd died, and we still don't know when or why yet. As for dying peacefully in his sleep, that's a common assumption made when you find somebody dead in bed and it looks like they're sleeping. If they awoke in the middle of the night, dying of a heart attack in absolute agony, they'd still appear to have died peacefully. Nobody likes to think the worst. Well, apart from conspiracy theorists. |

Gifts made within the seven years prior to death are taken into account when assessing the amount of the estate. Charitable lifetime gifts (or bequests) are exempt from tax. And as already pointed out, Inheritance Tax is payable from the estate, not by anybody who has received lifetime gifts.

I believe what Skyler was pointing out is that most great soul singers with few exceptions are black or have a skin colour other than white, with few exceptions, while few white people have a good soul voice. No harm in saying that that unless one wishes to nit-pick and make an issue of it when none was intended |

It doesn't surprise me.
I imagine everybody earning huge amounts of cash - from One Direction to Mick Jagger - gives rather large amounts to charity. I imagine they are advised to do so early on in their careers. There would clearly be more altruistic reasons for doing so too, like caring about a cause. Most celebrities are aligned with a charity or two that is close to their heart. Not to take away from GM's obvious generosity, but he's not the only celebrity that would be doing so is my point. |

That implies it wasn't heart failure as it would be apparent from examination of the heart which would be dilated and the lungs which would be waterlogged.

Speculating here (not really a good idea!) but maybe he was on prescription drugs, been drinking, then gone to bed. It's easily done even though not intentional and many have lost their lives as a result.

I see Andy Kershaw continues to be an utter dick:

They said it was the combination of over the counter painkillers that he took for toothache over Christmas as dentists were closed, and drinking heavily New Years Eve. The coroner said that 100 other people who took exactly the same amount of drugs and alcohol may not have died but it depends on your metabolism too. Very sad. Best not to take drugs and drink a lot although many people do.

Wouldn't be shocked if he did kill himself he did throw himself from a car a few years back ,he clearly was not the same George with he's ill health,and reports saying he couldn't sing the same ,etc but let's all hope he has found peace the words to he's last hit white light are so real to this story,

IDK if he has issues but the police did say "no suspicious circumstances" which surely means that they saw no evidence of either suicide nor OD. |
