His death is still being treated as it was on Christmas Day, when we first reported the tragedy, as unexplained but not suspicious.

Michael's manager, Michael Lippman, said he had "died of heart failure."

More tests will now be carried out to determine what led to his death, Thames Valley Police said in a statement. The results of these tests are unlikely to be known for several weeks.

The family say they are “touched beyond words” by the “incredible outpouring of love" from the nation who have been stunned by the loss of the awesomely talented pop singer and songwriter.

His boyfriend Fadi Fawaz was the first to discover the star and said he found the him dead in bed when he arrived to wake him ahead of a planned Christmas Day lunch. Fawaz described Michael as a “beautiful person” and a “kind and generous man”. His former long-term partner Kenny Goss is devastated.

Meanwhile,The Guardian reportsthat the majority of George Michael's £105m fortune will go to his sister Melaine who travelled with him the majrity of his career and his other older sister Yiolda will also get a share.

Moreover,reports suggest that Elton John will play at George Michael's funeral. It is thought that Michael will have two funeral one for close family and friends and another for fans.
