George Michael Cause Of Death: Fadi Fawaz Denies Suicide Attempt Reports, Says Twitter Account Hacked
George Michael's boyfriend Fadi Fawaz said that tweets sent out from his account about the late Wham! singer's suicide attempts are false. Fawaz told the Mirror late Sunday that his Twitter account has been hacked.
A series of tweets sent out from Fawaz’s account Sunday morning claimed that Michael made several attempts in the past to take his own life. Fawaz’s Twitter account, which was not verified but followed by Michael, was deleted after the tweets went out. Fawaz’s Instagram account is still active.
“The only thing George wanted is to DIE,” one tweet said, while another read: “He tried numbers (sic) of time to kill himself many times and finally he managed...”
Late Sunday, Fawaz— a celebrity hairstylist with whom Michael was romantically involved in recent years — said that he never sent out the tweets.
“I am shocked with what’s going on with the Twitter thing. My Twitter account has been hacked and closed,” he told the Mirror. “It’s a bit scary to be honest. I did not send those tweets. I woke up at 11.30am to the news. I am not going to worry about these things.”
On Friday, he shared a photo of himself with Michael on his Instagram account, writing: “I should be able to share my beautiful moments with the man I love regardless.”
Michael was found dead at his home in Oxfordshire, England, on Christmas Day. The singer died at the age of 53 from a heart failure, according to reports.
On Friday, police confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter that Michael’s autopsy results were “inconclusive,” and the cause of death is yet to be revealed.
Last week, Fawaz said that he found Michael's dead body in his house.
“We were supposed to be going to Christmas lunch. I went round there to wake him up and he was just gone, lying peacefully in bed. We don’t know what happened yet. Everything had been very complicated recently, but George was looking forward to Christmas, and so was I. Now everything is ruined. I want people to remember him the way he was — he was a beautiful person,” Fawaz said.
