One of the lynch pins of George's untimely passing had to do with him pruning a tree in his back yard in the wee hours of the morning. He was drinking a bit...and fell, breaking his arm I believe...or leg...I don't remember which...this led him to getting pain killers..and the rest is unfortunately Vegas history. He passed away in his sleep about a week after the incident with the tree. As far as I know, the tree is still there.
