There’s been much speculation surrounding George Michael’s passing since the shock news broke nearly three months ago.
But now the singers cause of death has finally been revealed.
In an autopsy report, British coroner Darren Salter establishes that the 53-year-old died of natural causes after suffering from “dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and a fatty liver.”
“Dilated cardiomyopathy is a condition in which the heart’s ability to pump blood is limited, while myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle,” CBS News reports.
A follow up statement released by Salter explains that as George’s death was not suspicious, an inquest will not be held.
“No further updates will be provided and the family requests the media and the public respect their privacy,” the statement read.
The Careless Whisper hit maker was found dead in his bed by his boyfriend Fadi Fawaz on Christmas day 2016.
At the time, paid tribute to his music icon love on Twitter, penning:
“It’s an xmas I will never forget finding your partner dead peacefully in bed first thing in the morning.. I will never stop missing you xx,”
Following the results of the post-mortem being made public, the hairdresser took to social media once more to share a black and white photograph of the pair.
“The truth is out,” he wrote.
