Leonard Cohen’s manager Robert Kory has confirmed that the musician died in his sleep after falling in the middle of the night.
In a statement, he said: “Leonard Cohen died during his sleep following a fall in the middle of the night on 7 Nov. The death was sudden, unexpected and peaceful”.
As previously reported, Cohen’s death was announced in a statement on his Facebook page last week. He was buried at a private family funeral in Montreal at the weekend, with a public memorial due to take place in LA at a later date.
