Manager: Songwriter Leonard Cohen died in sleep after fall
LOS ANGELES — Singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen died in his sleep after falling down in the middle of the night at his Los Angeles home, his manager said Wednesday.
“The death was sudden, unexpected and peaceful,” manager Robert B. Kory said in a statement.
The details from Kory provided the first glimpse of how Cohen died. No cause was given last week in the initial announcement of his death.
The statement also said that Cohen died on Nov. 7 — three days before his passing was made public.
