George Harrison Death Location Controversy Resolved By Los Angeles Coroner's Office

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) - The final chapter in determining the exact location of Beatle George Harrison's death last November - an ongoing controversy since his death - has finally been closed by the Los Angeles Coroner's Office.                                        

Officials announced Tuesday (Feb. 12) that Harrison passed away in a $4 million mansion near Griffith Park in L.A. currently owned by Mike Walley, and once owned by Courtney Love, who leased it to Paul McCartney.

Initial reports placed Harrison's death at the home of friend and security consultant Gavin De Becker (author of The Gift of Fear), but the original address given for the home was nonexistent. When attorney Gloria Allred filed a formal complaint in December -- citing false information undermined the integrity of pubic records -- an investigation into the matter was launched.

Rumors began flying that Harrison passed away at a home formerly owned by McCartney -- rumors that were originally denied by McCartney's camp, but have now surfaced as slightly more fact than fiction.

De Becker released the new address to authorities on Monday (Feb. 11), blaming a need for privacy and a need to ward off memorabilia hunters as reasons for the original falsification. Although it's a felony in California to willfully provide false information on a death certificate, Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley now considers the matter closed, and no charges will be filed against De Becker, according to a spokesperson for the District Attorney's Office.
