On 30 December 1999, George Harrison, a musician and former member of the Beatles, was stabbed at Friar Park, his estate in Oxfordshire. The perpetrator, Michael Abram, was a 34-year old paranoid schizophrenic from Liverpool. While Harrison survived the encounter, he died of cancer on 29 November 2001, having previously conquered a first bout of the disease; those who knew him speculated that the stabbing had triggered the cancer's recurrence.
