GEORGE Michael’s sister died in a diabetic coma on the third anniversary of the pop star’s tragic death.
Melanie Panayiotou was found at her £6.2million home in Hampstead, north west London last year on December 29 – exactly three years after her brother died.
At the time, it was understood she had suffered a short illness before she passed away in hospital.
It has now emerged the hairdresser died from diabetic ketoacidosis, which is caused by a lack of insulin and high blood sugar, with diabetes given as an underlying cause of death, according to the Mirror.
Music icon George died aged 53, of natural causes at home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, on December 25 2016.
