Andrew Getty suffered from 'serious medical condition,' court documents say

HOLLYWOOD HILLS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The exact cause of Andrew Getty's death remains under investigation after the 47-year-old was found dead at his Hollywood Hills home Tuesday, but new clues have surfaced.

In a restraining order filed in March, the heir to one of the wealthiest families in America warned that he suffered from a "serious medical condition" that could endanger his life.

Getty, who was the grandson of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty, did not specify the condition, but wrote "a rise in my blood-pressure places me in grave risk of substantial and irreparable injury or death."

The Los Angeles County Coroner says Getty appears to have died of natural causes or an accidental death based on medication found at the scene. Investigators are awaiting toxicology tests which could take up to 10 weeks to process.

Authorities say Getty was not feeling well for the last couple of months and had an appointment scheduled for Wednesday with his personal physician.

According to The Associated Press, Getty had been complaining of stomach pain in recent days and had not been eating or sleeping well. Investigators found prescription medication and injectables at his home, AP reported.

The name of the woman who called authorities after finding Getty's bloodied body has not been released, but officials described her as Getty's friend and as a cooperative witness.

The Associated Press identified the woman as his 32-year-old on-again, off-again girlfriend Lanessa DeJonge -- the same woman Getty obtained a restraining order against last month.

In the court documents, Getty said he couldn't get her to move out of the Hollywood Hills home. A judge subsequently ordered her to leave.

The next hearing on the issue was scheduled for April 6. Instead, his family and friends are preparing for his funeral.
