Member of Getty family found dead

Andrew Getty, among the heirs in a family whose name is synonymous with elite American wealth, has been found dead in his Hollywood Hills home of what was most likely natural causes or an accident, authorities and family members said.

Neither the coroner nor police had officially identified the man, but a statement from 47-year-old Andrew Getty’s parents, Ann and Gordon Getty, confirmed their son had died.

Gordon Getty is the San Francisco billionaire scion of the late J Paul Getty, whose oil fortune made his family among the richest in US history.
