A carer dialled 999 after discovering the former comedian on the floor of his £180,000 townhouse in Mijas near Fuengirola, on the Costa Del Sol. Starr, who moved to Spain in July 2015 after a libel case loss against a woman who accused him of groping her when she was 15, was found around 3pm this afternoon. But an autopsy is expected to take place tomorrow at the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Malaga to rule out the possibility it was the result of a crime. Freddie StarrA source at the equivalent of Spain’s 999 service said: "We responded to a call this afternoon from the carer of a 76-year-old man in the Mijas area of the Costa del Sol. "The woman said she had found the man and she was looking after him because he had been ill and said she thought he could be dead."
