SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A woman who once broke into former Beatles guitarist George Harrison's Hawaii home has been found dead in California, the victim of a murder-suicide, a police officer said on Sunday.

Cristin Keleher, 34, made headlines in December 1999 by entering Harrison's Maui estate and then cooking herself a frozen pizza and helping herself to a root beer. After she did her laundry and called her mother, she was found by the security staff and charged with burglary.

She had apparently been stalking Harrison for months.

On December 19 of this year police in Truckee near California's popular Lake Tahoe found her body and that of a 48-year-old man in a SUV vehicle, both with gunshot wounds to their heads, according to a coroner's report.

"From the investigation it appears that she was shot first and then he shot himself, so it is a murder-suicide," Nevada County Sheriff's Sgt. Shannan Moon said on Sunday. "It sounds like a closed case."

Now Ive watched you sitting there
Seen the passers-by all stare
Like you have no place to go
But theres so much they dont know about apple scruffs

Youve been stood around for years
Seen my smiles and touched my tears
How its been a long, long time
And how youve been on my mind, my apple scruffs

Apple scruffs, apple scruffs
How I love you, how I love you

In the fog and in the rain
Through the pleasures and the pain
On the step outside you stand
With your flowers in your hand, my apple scruffs

While the years they come and go
Now, your love must surely show me
That beyond all time and space
Were together face to face, my apple scruffs

Apple scruffs, apple scruffs
How I love you, how I love you

George Harrison

Ah yes... the preacher, the funeral director, the (barefoot) corpse, and the gravedigger.
I remember that "clue" very well.

Seldom happens the other way around.

Can't tell for sure from the pic but it looks like Paul is still holding a fag in his right hand.

Weird Beatles trivia: I was watching TCM last night and they had some George Sanders movies on. His co star in The Saint in London 1939, Sally Gray, her stepson was friend of John Lennon's and was the guy that "blew his mind out in a car". He actually was from the House of Lords.

Seems she may have had her own stalker.

There was a song by the Beatles called, "Run for your life". Went something like this:
Better run for your life little girl
Run as fast as you can little girl
If I catch you with another man
That's the end, little girl.

Never heard that song, or those lyrics. (For the confused, the Apple Scruffs were fans who hung around the Beatles' Apple Records front door in search of autographs.)

As an ex of mine put it, "Some times I suspect the strongest force in the universe is irony!"
