Leonard Cohen died in his sleep after a fall at his home in Los Angeles, his manager has said. His death was confirmed a few days later in an announcement on his official Facebook page, which gave no details of the circumstances. “Leonard Cohen died during his sleep following a fall in the middle of the night on 7 November,” Kory said. Earlier this week, Adam Cohen said his father’s funeral had taken place in his home city of Montreal. In an interview that month, Cohen said he was “ready to die”.
