Andrew Getty, 47 yrs old and one of 4 sons born to Ann and Gordon Getty, was found dead in the bathroom of his Los Angeles palatial home by an unidentified female who phoned the LAPD around 2pm yesterday. Andrew hadn't been feeling well in the last few days and had an appt scheduled with his physician for tomorrow. So sad, maybe he should have had the doctor make a house call today or maybe he should have gone to the ER? The police his death to either be an accident or natural causes. The coroner needs to perform a thorough examination of the body as well as toxicology tests which could take up to 10 weeks for the results to come back.
Andrew was the grandson of J Paul Getty. who was an industrialist and he founded the Getty Oil Company. At one point, J Paul Getty was named the richest American living in the USA by Forbes Magazine. J Paul, had 5 sons and died in 1976 at the age of 82.
This is not the first tragedy to be struck the Getty Family, a cousin of Andrew's, J Paul Getty III, was kidnapped when he was just 16 yrs old and held captive for 5 months. During which time, part of one of his ears was cut off and eventually $2.7 million USD was paid in ransom money. J Paul III, died when he was 54 yrs old in 2011.
