Andrew Getty, heir to Getty fortune, found dead
Andrew Getty, 47, was found dead on Tuesday in his Hollywood Hills home, police and family members said, according to The Telegraph.
He was the grandson of the late oil billionaire J Paul Getty and one of the heirs to the fortune of one of the wealthiest and best-known families in American history.
Police arrived at the gated residence around 2.15 pm local time shortly after a woman called to report that someone at the property had died.
Officers did not identify the man, but a statement from Andrew Getty's parents, Ann and Gordon Getty, confirmed it was him.
Police Commander Andrew Smith said the woman who had called police was "cooperating with the investigation."
