GEORGE Michael's cousin has said he suspects the star died of an accidental drugs overdose.

Andros Georgiou said the singer had resumed taking "hard drugs" toward the end of his life, but denied his death was suicide.

The 53-year-old was found dead at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, on Christmas Day.

Police said a post-mortem had proved "inconclusive" and the results of further tests are yet to be revealed.

His death is being treated as "unexplained but non-suspicious".

Mr Georgiou said Michael had taken steps to overcome his use of illegal drugs.

However, after speaking to people who knew the singer towards the end of his life, he believed he had been "dragged back into the dark side".

Detectives from Thames Valley Police have questioned the last people to see Michael alive as part of their investigation.

Mr Georgiou said he wanted to "get to the truth of what happened" and to know what the singer may have taken and how he could have acquired it.
