His worst fears were confirmed on the 30th December 1999, when he was attacked in his own home by an intruder. The attacker, who was from Liverpool, believed he was possessed by Harrison and was on a mission from God to kill him. He was acquitted of attempted murder on the grounds of insanity and detained and sent for treatment at Ashworth High Secure Hospital, Broadmoor’s sister hospital in Liverpool. On the 29th November 2001 George Harrison died of throat cancer.
