It has been suggested that drugs may have contributed to George Michael’s death in December.
After a post-mortem following the death of George Michael proved inconclusive, a childhood friend of the singer has proposed that his death may have been attributed to drug use.
After the 53-year-old Wham singer’s untimely death on Christmas Day, the Thames Valley police spoke out on the matter saying they were looking to “establish facts” and take statements regarding his death.
Andros Georgiou, A friend who grew up with George Michael, has now issued a statement in relation to the death of his childhood friend on the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire programme. Andros Georgiou said, “I believe he had suicidal thoughts because his mental health was all over the place. But I don’t believe this was suicide,” He went on to state “I just think he took too much of something, mixed with antidepressants and other drugs he was on – with alcohol. I think his heart just stopped beating.”
It was also mentioned during the interview that crack cocaine was one of the singers “favourite drugs” but comments regarding Michael’s links to heroin were expelled – “I know that was one drug he never touched,” said Georgiou.
It has been disclosed that George Michael was planning to release a new record in 2017 and also had ‘three unreleased albums in the vaults’ when he died.
