Speaking to The Sun, the family confirmed the tragic loss. Grant is said to have been found by police on Thursday afternoon after being found at Kings’ Cross railway station. A short time later, the actor was declared brain dead at the hospital. His relatives now had to make a difficult decision and decided to stop life-sustaining measures.
Daughter Sophie Jayne Grant (28) says: “I’m devastated. My father was a legend in so many ways.” Her father put a smile on everyone’s face and would have given anything for everyone, says the 28-year-old. His girlfriend Maria Dwyer (64) also finds touching words for the deceased: “Paul was the love of my life. The funniest man I know. He made my life complete. Life will never be the same without him.”
