George is said to have been taking methadone to help calm his anxiety
He says George as given methadone by an associate in a bid to calm his anxiety – two days before he was found dead at home on Christmas Day 2016.
And he said the star then asked the pal for more pills, which were taken by taxi disguised as a Christmas present, to his home in Goring, Oxon.
