George Harrison died on 29 November 2001 at 1.20pm. The cause of death was listed on his Los Angeles County death certificate as metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. His body was wrapped in a shawl and covered with holy oils. Twenty minutes after he passed away, staff from the Hollywood Forever Cemetery arrived to collect Harrison's body.
What has become apparent in the decade since his death, writes George Harrisonâs widow, Olivia, âis the uncanny symmetry of Georgeâs life â a life lived to the fullest,â and how we can also accomplish the same in our own death. George Harrison died at age 58 on Nov. 29, 2001 after a long battle with cancer. In turn, it is now revealed by his widow, Olivia, that what George did, both mentally and physically to prepare for his death, can also help others waiting for God in hospice care.
