There has been mass speculation as the cause of George Michael’s death, ever since the singer’s untimely demise on Christmas Day last year. (See how we stepped around a ‘Last Christmas’ reference there?)

Seems he died of natural causes, due to heart disease. The coroner’s statement reads:

“As there is a confirmed natural cause of death, being dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and fatty liver, the investigation is being discontinued and there is no need for an inquest or any further enquiries.”
