While Getty's ex-girlfriend was initially detained as a person of interest, the LA County Coroner announced on Tuesday night that it appears he died of either natural causes or an accident.
'The tentative information that we have is that he was not feeling good for the last couple months and he supposedly had an appointment scheduled for tomorrow with a personal physician,' Ed Winter, the LA County chief assistant coroner, said according to CBS Los Angeles. 'We did collect some prescription bottles.'
Sources added to the Times that investigators do not believe the woman was involved in Getty's death.
Cause unknown: Getty's ex-girlfriend called 911 around 2pm on Tuesday. Paramedics who arrived on the scene found Getty unconscious with a 'traumatic injury to the rectal area' and significant bleeding. Above, Investigators gather outside Getty's home in the Hollywood Hills on Tuesday
