It has emerged George Michael received at least 10 visitors in the days before he died proving he was not a loner.

Police are attempting to piece together the cause of his demise and amid the speculation is that he had become insular and died from an overdose.

The guests all stopped by his rural cottage in Goring, Oxfordshire, in the days leading to his death as well as a number of deliveries which suggest he was planning a Christmas get-together.

George's death on Christmas Day at his Oxfordshire mansion aged just 53 brought an outpouring of grief from his fans around the world.

The cause of death of the singer, who had battled with drugs and depression, was said to have been heart failure.

But after the first post-mortem results were 'inconclusive' and further tests were ordered, the mystery surrounding his last moments has deepened.
