2016 was a sad year for fans of a number of different influential singer/songwriters as a number of them passed away due to various reasons that were hard to hear at first. One of those influential people who passed away last year was singer/songwriter George Michael. Known for hit songs like “Last Christmas”, “Wake Me Up” and “Everything She Wants”. When he passed away it was not quite clear as to what the cause of death was nor was it known what his health condition was leading up to his death.

Now more information has been revealed via BROOKLYN VEGAN about circumstances surrounding Michael’s passing. It has been revealed that George Michael did indeed die due to natural causes.

On Tuesday the coroner released a statement,

“Inquiries into the death of George Michael have been concluded and the final post-mortem report received. 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. No further updates will be provided and the family requests the media and public respect their privacy.”

Michael’s partner said, “I think his body just gave up. All these years, it was just weak.”
