Late TV star Paul O'Grady has left behind a sizeable £15.5m in his will, including £125,000 set aside specially to care for his five pet dogs - Nancy, Arfur, Conchita, Eddie and Sausage
The late Paul O'Grady made sure his dogs would be well looked after as he left £15.5 million in his will, and included £125,000 just for his five dogs. Paul tragically died at his home in Kent in March last year when he was just 67 years old due to a sudden heart problem.
A close friend of the TV star shared a few words on Paul's wishes for his dogs and said: "This is typical of Paul as he put his money where his mouth was by leaving cash to charities that had special meaning to him. And though £125,000 seems like a lot of money to spend on his dogs, they also meant the world to him and he wanted to ensure they always receive the best love and care.
Paul also left £775,000 for causes close to his heart, including special donations of £50,000 each to elephant and orangutan charities. Paul, who was born in Birkenhead, also kindly gave another £50,000 to the Salvation Army, an organisation he admired since they helped those in need during his childhood in Merseyside.
Paul was laid to rest next to his former partner Brendan Murphy in April last year. Brendan had been Paul's manager and partner before he passed away from a brain tumour in 2005, just before his 50th birthday.
