Paul O’Grady’s Final Moments: Husband Reveals Tragic Details at Memorial

Who could have imagined the secret behind Paul O’Grady’s peaceful passing?

In a star-studded memorial for the late comedian, Paul O’Grady, his husband revealed the heartbreaking details of his final moments. Discover the surprising revelation that had the audience in awe.

Andre Portasio, Paul O’Grady’s husband, disclosed that the TV presenter was smoking a joint just moments before his tragic death in March. According to Andre, they had a secret code for rolling a spliff, which involved making a ‘cup of tea’. So when Paul said he wanted to make a ‘cup of tea’, he actually went to the kitchen to roll a joint. He returned with the doobie and settled down in his chair at their Kent home before slipping away.

Andre shared these intimate details with an audience of Paul’s friends and colleagues at the memorial. The evening was filled with emotional and amusing anecdotes about the comedian’s life. Julian Clary even reminisced about a wild dinner at Paul’s house, where they had pumpkin soup that left him laughing and wondering what was in it.

Paul O’Grady’s passing was unexpected but peaceful, caused by a cardiac arrhythmia. He had just finished his TV show ‘For the Love of Dogs’ and had completed a UK tour of ‘Annie, The Musical’. At the private funeral, guests were treated to clips of his best-loved shows and gags, creating both laughter and tears.

Andre expressed how much Paul would be missed by his loved ones, friends, family, and all those who enjoyed his humor and compassion. The memorial ended with a touching tribute to Paul at St Rumwold’s Church, where a bronze statue of his beloved late dog Buster was placed on a leopard-print throw. The service featured personal tributes and musical choices that reflected Paul’s life and passions.
