 Neither the coroner nor police had officially identified the man, but a statement from 47-year-old Andrew Getty's parents, Ann and Gordon Getty, confirmed it was him. 
 
 Gordon Getty is the San Francisco billionaire scion of the late J. Paul Getty, whose oil fortune made his family among the richest in U.S. history. 
 
 Andrew Getty's death appeared to be from natural causes, Los Angeles County coroner's Assistant Chief Ed Winter said, but it has been initially called an accident because of medication found at the scene. He said coroner's officials need to await the results of further examination and toxicology tests, which could take up to 10 weeks to process. 
 
 "The tentative information that we do have is that he was not feeling good for the last couple months," Winter said, "and he supposedly had an appointment tomorrow with a personal physician." 
 
 A woman calling to report that someone had died sent officers to the gated home on Montcalm Avenue shortly after 2:15 p.m. They found a man dead in a bathroom, police spokesman Jack Richter said. 
 
 Police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said the woman who had called police was cooperating with the investigation. Richter said she was not arrested and he did not know her identity. 
 
 Coroner's vans and news trucks were parked outside the century-old luxury home on one of the winding roads in the hills that are home to many of the film industry elite. 
 
 Getty is one of four sons of Gordon Getty, who is one of five sons of J. Paul Getty, the founder of the Getty Oil Co. who died in 1976 at age 82. 
 
 J. Paul Getty was an avid collector of art and antiquities, and the Getty name is perhaps best known in the Los Angeles area for the museum that houses much of it, along with many other high-priced artworks bought since his death. 
 
 Another Getty grandson, J. Paul Getty III, lost an ear in a grisly kidnapping in Rome when he was a teenager. The family reportedly stalled on paying a ransom, and the kidnappers cut off part of his ear, sending the severed organ to a newspaper to prove they had taken him captive. 
 
 The oil heir, then 16, was freed after five months in captivity and a payment of $2.7 million. He died in 2011 at age 54.

A coroner's spokesman said that prescription medication was recovered from the home, and that Getty had scheduled an appointment with his personal physician for Wednesday afternoon.
– The death of 47-year-old oil heir Andrew Getty doesn't appear to have been the result of foul play, the Los Angeles Times reports. An LAPD spokesman says that while it's "very, very early in the investigation ... this does not appear immediately to be a criminal act." Instead, LA coroner's rep Ed Winter tells the AP Getty's death was from natural causes, though it's being called accidental due to prescription meds found in the home. Getty was apparently "not feeling good for the last couple months, and he supposedly had an appointment [today] with a personal physician," Winter says. A law enforcement source tells the Times that Getty's body was discovered naked from the waist down and that he suffered blunt-force trauma, though it's not clear if that was from a fall. Getty's body was found in his Hollywood Hills home yesterday by a woman officials call a "friend;" she's reportedly cooperating as a witness, per the Times. Court papers show Getty sought a restraining order against a woman two weeks ago. TMZ has a decidedly darker take: Police tell the site they're considering Getty's death as happening "under suspicious circumstances," and the woman is said to be Getty's ex-girlfriend, who's been involved in some of 30-plus domestic-disturbance incidents at Getty's house; cops say both were frequently observed on drugs. TMZ sources say she's the same woman in Getty's restraining order and that she's been accused of breaking into his home. Toxicology reports could take up to 10 weeks, per the AP.
