Fadi Fawaz cleared of George Michael’s death as cops officially rule out foul play – but cause remains a mystery
COPS investigating George Michael's death have reportedly ruled out foul play - but the cause is still a mystery almost six weeks later.
George Michael's boyfriend Fadi Fawaz was quizzed by Thames Valley Police last month as they tried to piece together the last hours of the star’s life before he died at his Oxfordshire home on Christmas Day aged 53.
Thames Valley Police have reportedly told they are certain there was no foul play involved in the star’s death.
A spokesman said: "We are satisfied that there are no suspicious circumstances."
George’s funeral has been delayed as head coroner Darren Salter is still awaiting the results of toxicology tests which are needed to determine the cause of the singer's death.
The test results are expected to be revealed "imminently".
Despite initial unverified reports that George died of congestive heart failure, the exact cause of his sudden and unexpected death remains unclear.
On December 30, a post-mortem came back as “inconclusive” and Thames Valley Police revealed further examinations would be carried out on the late star.

Major crime cops took over the investigation and quizzed Fawaz over fears George died from a drugs overdose.
Fawaz, who had been in a relationship with George for four years, told reporters he slept in his car on the night of George's death - but said police "know everything".
A source told The Sun: "The investigation is now picking up a bit of speed.
"Officers from the Major Crime Unit have begun asking questions of those who were in the area at the time George died and the day before.
"They want to build up an idea of what George's last seven days were like and who came and went."
