Fadi Fawaz, 46, has revealed that the singer died alone because he’d fallen asleep in his car.

George Michael’s boyfriend had previously said he’d stayed with the singer all weekend, discovering him on Christmas morning. He now says the pair spent the night apart on Christmas eve.

“I never saw him. I fell asleep in my car and I never saw him that night. The police know ­everything. That’s the most important thing.“

Fawaz also addressed a series of tweets sent from his account that claimed Michael had tried to his own life.

“The only thing George wanted is to DIE. He tried numbers of time to kill himself many times…“

He told the Mirror that a hacker was behind the messages:

“I did not send those tweets. I am shocked with what’s going on with the Twitter thing. My Twitter account has been hacked and closed. 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.“

It’s still not clear why Fawaz slept in his car. (via Metro UK)
