Family of George Michael urge fans not to speculate

George Michael’s relatives have urged fans to refrain from speculating on the cause of the pop icon’s death until coroners reach a definitive ruling.

George Michael’s boyfriend, Fadi Fawaz, found the singer dead in his bed at his home in Oxfordshire, England on Christmas Day, and a representative for the 53-year-old claimed the singer had died from heart failure.

Messages posted on Fawaz’s Twitter account on Sunday suggested George had committed suicide, but the hairstylist insisted he was not responsible for the tweets and blamed hackers for spreading the false rumors.
