LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former teen idol David Cassidy did not have dementia, as he claimed before he died, and lied about giving up drinking, the singer told the makers of a documentary about him in the months before his death.
Cassidy, 67, who shot to fame in the 1970s TV show "The Partridge Family," died of organ failure at age 67 in Florida in November 2017, nine months after declaring he was fighting dementia in a bid to stave off reports about odd behaviour.
But in an excerpt released on Wednesday from documentary "David Cassidy: The Last Session," Cassidy told producers that his problems were due to alcoholism.
"I have a liver disease," Cassidy told one of the producers in a recorded telephone call after an emergency hospital admission in September.
"There is no sign of me having dementia at this stage of my life. It was complete alcohol poisoning. The fact is, I lied about my drinking," he added.

Destruction of his liver by alcohol must have spread to other organs.
Horrible way to die.
Not uncommon. Many alcoholics will go to any lengths to hide their alcoholism. RIP, David Cassidy.

If he really did say this to his documentary producers, then I see no problem with them releasing it as news.
Of course, the documentary is airing in a few days, so this is promotion, too.
His dad died horribly.
Maybe he forgot.
