Tragic history of the Getty family 'curse'  

ABDUCTION DRAMA: J. Paul Getty III, the grandson of the family patriarch, was sensationally kidnapped in Rome in 1973, aged 16. 

When his notoriously tight-fisted grandfather refused to pay ransom, the abductors cut off the boy's ear and mailed it to his family. Getty eventually relented and paid a $3million ransom. 

The teenager survived but began using drugs and suffered a debilitating stroke in his 20s. He died aged 54. 

CHILD DEATH: The oil baron's youngest child, Timothy Ware Getty, suffered a brain tumor aged six and died at the age of 12 in 1958. 

Getty's then-wife Teddy, a former nightclub singer, later wrote in a memoir that the tycoon had admonished her over the boy's expensive medical bills. 

They divorced soon after Timothy's death, but Teddy lived until 2017 when she died aged 103. Another of Getty's sons, George, died in a suspected suicide in 1973. 

HEROIN DEATH: Talitha Pol, a Dutch actress who married J. Paul Getty Jr in 1966, died of a heroin overdose five years later in 1971. 

Pol had lived her own jet-setting life and was the subject of a famous photo with her husband on a Marrakech rooftop in 1969.    

SECOND FAMILY: Gordon Getty had his own brush with scandal in 1999 when the father of four sons with his wife, Ann, acknowledged he had a second family in Los Angeles that included three daughters. 

The acknowledgement came after the daughters filed court papers to change their last names to Getty.  

FOUND DEAD AT HOME: Andrew Getty, another grandson of the oil tycoon, was found dead by his girlfriend at his Hollywood Hills mansion in 2015. He was 47. 

Coroners found he had died of an accidental intestinal hemorrhage and also had a toxic level of methamphetamine in his system.  

However, the person - possibly a drug dealer - claimed he had not talked to Getty in years.

The nature of Getty's death is still not yet clear, with an autopsy yet to take place, but foul play is not suspected.

Unusually a block has been put on any information being released publicly by the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office.

Hotel Emma is a 146-room luxury boutique hotel built within a 19th century brew house in the Pearl's community of downtown San Antonio.

A spokesperson for the San Antonio Fire Department told DailyMail.com: 'SAFD received the call at 12:17pm for a reported DOA (dead on arrival).

'Notes indicate hotel staff located the patient in their room and called 911. Upon our arrival the patient was found to be deceased.'

The Indian-style pose Getty was found in is one often associated with meditation or yoga in which a person sits with their legs tightly crossed, the soles of their feet facing the ceiling.

This position is known in yoga as the lotus pose .

When the death first emerged last week The Getty family confirmed the news saying he was found unresponsive in a hotel room in San Antonio, Texas, and paid tribute to an 'awesome' father and musician who leaves behind a daughter and two brothers.

'With a heavy heart, Gordon Getty announces the death of his son, John Gilbert Getty,' said a spokesperson for his composer father.

'John leaves behind his daughter, Ivy Getty, whom he loved beyond measure, and his brothers Peter and Billy. His brother, Andrew, predeceased John. John's mother, Ann Gilbert Getty, passed this September.

'John was a talented musician who loved rock and roll. He will be deeply missed.'

It comes nearly six years after John's brother Andrew died of a hemorrhage in 2015 with a toxic level of methamphetamine in his system, and only two months after the death of their mother Ann, who died from a heart attack at age 79.

John was also the cousin of tragic heir J. Paul Getty III, who was sensationally kidnapped for ransom as a teenager in 1973 and who later suffered a debilitating stroke and died aged 54 nine years ago.

John was one of seven children born to Gordon Getty, once the sole benefactor of the Getty family's $5.4billion fortune before he split it up into six separate trusts in 1985.

Gordon, 86, is the only surviving child of five sons born to the oil tycoon, and is among his many heirs which include several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Ivy Getty, John's 25-year-old daughter, shared a moving tribute on social media over the weekend, coupled with a number of photos where she is pictured with her father.

In a series of stories, she shared fun facts about her father including his favorite drinks, snacks and cities
