The official cause of death of Top Gun: Maverick actor James Handy earlier this month has been named.
The 81-year-old actor was stabbed and also suffered ‘neck compression’ which helped lead to his death, according to the Los Angeles Medical Examiner in documents seen by The Daily Mail.
Handy was stabbed in the torso and neck where the spinal cord is connected to nerve roots.
On June 3, the actor was attacked outside a Los Angeles house with a knife allegedly by his girlfriend’s son, Michael Gledhill.
Handy was found badly wounded but still alive on his front yard by police after 911 was called.
