Los Angeles police investigating the death of Andrew Getty, an heir to the Getty oil fortune, are still trying to determine whether foul play was involved.

A law enforcement source told The Times Getty was found in the bathroom of his Hollywood Hills estate Tuesday and appeared to suffer from some type of blunt force trauma. It's unclear whether the injury was caused by a fall or something else.

The LAPD’s elite robbery-homicide detectives are handling the case because of the high-profile nature.

Police were called to Getty's compound, located at the end of a narrow, leafy street, at 2:18 p.m., said Cmdr. Andrew Smith.

A woman who was present at the time of the death was escorted from the residence by police for questioning, Smith said. She is cooperating with investigators, Smith said.


Just two weeks ago, Getty had sought a restraining order against a woman, according to court records. His attorney declined to comment.

Interesting.....

This is going to be big talk over the next few days because of the victim's last name.

One of the other grandsons was kidnapped and they sent one of his ears to the family as proof. And it's recently emerged that the old man had another, secret family

Didn't the old man refuse to pay a nickel to get the grandson back? Also one of them was a heavy duty addict. He may have been the kidnappee.

I saw a documentary on this family a few years ago - the bunch of them are beyond f'ed up. I am surprised Hollywood hasn't made a movie out of them...
