Known as Lee to his friends and Walter to his family, Liberace’s father was an Italian immigrant and his mother was of Polish descent. But how did the famed showman die and what was his net worth?

How did Liberace die?

Liberace enjoyed a career that spanned over forty years and in this time embarked on an array of different projects - including concerts, movies and residencies in Las Vegas. He died of cytomegalovirus pneumonia as a result of Aids on February 4, 1987. The showman had been diagnosed with Aids in August 1985 by a private physician in Las Vegas – a fact which was hidden from the public. He didn’t seek any medical treatment for his condition and his illness was a secret until the day he died. He was 67 when he passed away at home in Palm Springs, California.

Who was Scott Thorson?

Scott Thorson, 58, met Liberace through a previous relationship with one of Liberace’s dancers, Bob Street. Liberace went on to hire Scott to act as his friend and companion – and it is alleged that this spawned into a five-year romantic relationship.

Scott was allegedly lavished with expensive gifts by the star.

According to Scott, the pair ended their relationship because of Liberace’s “promiscuous” behaviour combined with Scott’s own drug use. 3 Scott Thorson, pictured with Liberace, left, met the star when he was 18 Credit: Ron Galella Collection Scott, who says he met Liberace when he was 18, also claims that he was so young when he met Liberace that he would do anything within his power to please him – including getting plastic surgery to resemble him. In 1982, Scott filed a lawsuit against Liberace, suing because he claimed that Liberace threw him out on the streets with nothing. In 1986, the pair settled out of court for $95,000 (£73.5million) and a year later, Scott published a book about their relationship, Behind The Candelabra: My Life With Liberace – which was then used as a basis for 2013 film Behind The Candelabra.

The film featured Matt Damon as Scott and Michael Douglas as Liberace.
