Police desperately hunt visitors spotted outside George Michael's home days before his death

It has been reported that authorities are desperately hunting the people who visited George Michael at his home in the days leading up to his tragic and unexplained death on Christmas Day, 2016.

The cause of the star’s death is still to be confirmed, with a post-mortem coming back as inconclusive.

As a result, detectives are attempting to track down the owners of vehicles which were seen arriving at George’s Oxfordshire home or parked near the property.

The Mirror report that George had a “procession of visitors” in the lead-up to his death, with a source close to the police inquiry claiming: “Officers are stepping up the investigation into the days leading up to George’s death and focusing on those who came and went to see George.

“They may have vital information which could be of use. There are still vehicles that were near the property which the police are trying to trace the owners of.

“The police will take as long as they need to. The aim for them is to get an accurate picture as possible of George’s final days.”

However, a family member added to the publication that the time it is taking for authorities to get information on the singer’s shock death has left them “fearing the worst”, explaining: “I’m worried that because everything is taking so long that it’s going to be bad news.

“We’re now fearing the worst. We just want to know what happened.

“Why was he on his own? Why did his boyfriend sleep in his car when George has a big house? It’s all very strange.

“We’re being kept in the dark. We’re still waiting to hear about the funeral. We just want answers and to lay him to rest.”

The news comes as George’s former lover, Carlos Arturo Ortiz, claimed that the star was addicted to “anti-depressants, chocolate and Coca Cola”, adding that he believes that the singer overdosed.
