Police have launched an investAigation into The Cure guitarist Perry Bamonte’s death which is now being treated as ‘unexplained’. The 65-year-old died at his home in Devon on Christmas Eve last year following a battle with terminal bowel cancer.
His wife Donna revealed he was diagnosed with the deadly disease in 2020 and was given the all clear a year later. However, she explained it returned in 2024 and was diagnosed as terminal prior to Mr Bamonte’s death in December.
Despite this, police are reportedly investigating his passing after receiving a report from a family member who had been ‘alarmed at something he was told’. Mr Bamonte’s death is now being treated as ‘unexplained but not suspicious’. There is no suggestion of wrongdoing by any family member.
