EXCLUSIVE Julian McMahon's death certificate reveals ominous details about star who died after mysterious cross-country trip to Scientology HQ city
Tragic TV heartthrob Julian McMahon was given a quiet, lonely send-off after his shocking death in Florida following a secret battle with cancer, can exclusively reveal. The Nip/Tuck star did not have a funeral, we can disclose – instead he was quietly cremated without ceremony in the beach city of Clearwater where he had mysteriously turned up with wife Kelly. McMahon's body was handled by Eternal Cremation Services in nearby Dunedin after his July 2 death in a nearby hospital, according to his death certificate obtained by A spokesperson for Eternal said it did not handle a funeral for the 56-year-old son of former Australian prime minister Sir William McMahon. When asked if there was any funeral, anywhere, for him, the spokesman replied emphatically: 'There was not.' And he could not confirm if McMahon's third-wife Kelly, 47, attended the cremation at Palm State Crematory. Tragic TV heartthrob Julian McMahon was given an apparently lonely send-off following his shock death in Florida after a secret cancer battle, can exclusively reveal The absence of a formal send-off for the beloved actor - known to millions as Dr. Christian Troy on Nip/Tuck and Cole Turner on Charmed - is only fueling speculation about the mysterious final months of his life His apparent move from California to Clearwater has already sparked frenzied online chatter because the Church of Scientology has its global headquarters there. The controversial and secretive religion has a host of celebrity followers, most famously Hollywood's Tom Cruise and John Travolta, and attracts showbiz types. Some 4,000 members live in Clearwater and its giant HQ, called Flag, dominates the downtown area. McMahon's successful 36-year career in his native country and in the United States from the early 1990s makes the lack of entertainment industry pals marking their respects even more puzzling. And while his father Sir William and mother Sonia have long passed away, his sisters Melinda, 58, and Debbie, 52, were reported to be devastated by his death at their homes in Australia. The actor died from lung metastasis – where cancer that started elsewhere in the body spreads to that organ – according to the Pinellas County cremation approval report obtained by It added this was a consequence of head and neck metastatic cancer. However, it did not reveal the type of cancer McMahon was originally battling. McMahon died as an inpatient at the Morton Plant Hospital, according to his death certificate. There will be no autopsy report, the medical examiner's office told us. Adding to the Clearwater connection mystery, the 'residence' address on the death is listed as a place in Ventura Boulevard, Encino, California. However, this is a building housing a showbiz accountancy firm and two other businesses. His occupation was given as 'producer/entertainment' and it revealed he had 'some college credit, but no degree'. The actor, previously wed to Australian singer Dannii Minogue and Baywatch star Brooke Burns, is not known to have had any connection with Clearwater before his death was revealed. He and former model Kelly previously had a stunning three-bedroom, four-bathroom pool home directly under the Hollywood sign which sold for $2.16million in 2015 and is now worth an estimated $3.4million. They're last known place in California is an equally beautiful spread in Somis, California, which the couple sold in August 2023 for $2.825million, according to records. The three-bedroom hacienda-style pool home sits on 15.5 acres in the heart of Ventura County's avocado region. The sales literature at the time said there would be farming income from 4.5 acres of Haas avocados and 10 acres of lemons. And possibly in a hint of the couple wanting a completely new lifestyle, it was advertised as being available furnished. Despite their 'out of the blue' appearance in Florida, there do not appear to be any property records linking them to the Clearwater area. When the city's connection to his death was revealed, the internet rumor mill went into overdrive. 'I live in Clearwater… close to a house John Travolta owner, because we're about a mile from the Scientology center in downtown Clearwater,' one local wrote on Instagram. 'I was wondering if Julian McMahon was a Scientologist since (Kelly's statement) said he died in Clearwater, because why else would he live the last few months of his life there? The only celebrities that do are usually Scientologists. Surprised, that's for certain!' Another person posed the question on X: 'Why was Julian McMahon in Clearwater when he died? Like, that's Scientology city.' Scientologists believe humans are 'immortal spiritual beings' called Thetans, who have many lives and possess unlimited potential through reincarnation. Scientologists are commonly cremated. While McMahon bravely continued his acting career, Kelly has been running a website called Super Spiritual Girl, describing herself as a 'spiritual concierge' on her Instagram. Her site says: 'We believe in spreading light and the power of collective consciousness. We welcome all souls on a path to healing, wellness and truth. Kindness, authenticity, integrity and honesty are our core values.' As creator and founder, she is described as having practiced and trained 'a wide range of spiritual modalities for the last 15 years' and is a 'shamanic healer'. Despite the fevered theories, Scientology expert and writer Tony Ortega damped down the speculation about the TV star. He told 'I haven't seen any evidence that McMahon was a Scientologist. 'Scientology dominates a small downtown part of Clearwater. But most people there don't do near it. Many people are drawn there to the beach, which has nothing to do with Scientology.' The religion and affiliated companies owns roughly 185 properties in the downtown area, which frequently has an eerie sense of quiet. Church figurehead and Hollywood megastar Cruise, 63, has a penthouse apartment at the Flag building where he reportedly has a private elevator that whisks him from parking lot to his living area. Travolta's wife Kelly Preston died after a breast cancer battle in 2020. Two years later Cheers actress and Scientologist Kirstie Alley died from colon cancer at the Clearwater mansion she bought from the late Lisa Marie Presley – who was also a follower of the religion. News of McMahon's death stunned his fans who had no idea he was secretly battling cancer. Kelly, who wed the star in at a Lake Tahoe ceremony in 2014, revealed in a statement: 'With an open heart, I wish to share to the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer. 'Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy to as many lives as possible. 'We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in live. We are grateful for the memories.' There were hindsight hints of the tragedy to come when McMahon was last seen publicly in March at the SXSW premiere of his psychological thriller movie The Surfer alongside co star Nicolas Cage in Texas. Although no one realized he was ill, the star appeared thinner and more fragile, dressed in a blue blazer that hung loosely.

Julian McMahon's Manner Of Death Ruled As Natural Days After His Passing
The mystery behind Julian McMahon's death is finally over, thanks to his autopsy report. The Australian actor died on July 2 at 56 following a private battle with cancer. His wife, Kelly, confirmed the heartbreaking news in a poignant statement that captured her loss and love for her longtime partner. Julian McMahon is survived by Kelly and his daughter Madison, whom he welcomed with ex-wife Brooke Burns. McMahon's cause of death was revealed in a Cremation Approval Summary Report from the Pinellas County Medical Examiner's Office in Florida. The report obtained by PEOPLE revealed the TV personality had succumbed to lung metastasis. Lung metastasis or secondary cancer, per WebMD, occurs when the cancer cells from a primary site travel to the lungs. It is a life-threatening condition that reportedly plagues about a third of the people who have cancer. In McMahon's case, the cancer cells spread from the head and neck regions. The actor's manner of death was ruled as natural, with his cause of death listed as lung metastasis stemming from head and neck metastatic cancer. McMahon's remains have since been cremated, bringing closure to his loved ones days after his wife confirmed his passing. News of McMahon's cancer battle came through his wife in an emotional statement where she confirmed his death. The Blast covered the story, reporting that she revealed her husband had valiantly fought against cancer behind closed doors. "Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible," the grieving wife claimed. She thanked fans for their support but implored them for privacy. "We wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories," the poignant message concluded. McMahon's death broke several hearts and changed fans' perspective about his last public appearance. McMahon graced the red carpet for the last time in Austin to promote 2024's "The Surfer," which has become one of the final movies he shot before his death. He rocked a classic black suit with a white shirt and a black bow tie, flashing a warm smile for the cameras. Although he tried to appear in high spirits while posing for pictures with his co-stars, including Hollywood veteran Nicolas Cage, McMahon's frail appearance did not go unnoticed. The late actor had lost significant weight and looked exhausted. Thanks to his wife's revelation of his hidden cancer battle, McMahon's frail appearance changed the perspective of many about his last red carpet appearance. Tributes poured in from around the entertainment industry, including a heartwarming post from the TV personality's ex-wife. Days after McMahon's passing, his former partner, Brooke Burns, broke her silence about his death on Instagram. The Blast shared that she dropped a throwback picture of her ex-husband posing with their daughter alongside the words "Rest in Peace." Burns and McMahon tied the knot in 1999 and divorced in 2001, a year after their daughter's birth. Their short-lived union seemed to have done a number on them, as they did not remarry for over a decade. The "Baywatch" star moved on with director Gavin O'Connor in 2013 while McMahon married his third and final wife in July 2014. The late actor first walked down the aisle in 1994 when he married singer and actress Dannii Minogue. Besides Burns, McMahon also received tributes from his "Charmed" co-stars, actor Brian Krause and actresses Alyssa Milano and Holly Marie Combs. Hollywood veteran Cage also honored McMahon, labeling him one of his favorite people. The Australian-born actor was the only son of Sir William McMahon, a former Prime Minister, and the heiress Sonia McMahon. He made his acting debut in "The Power, The Passion," playing the character Kane Edmonds in the short-lived daytime soap opera. He gained fame for starring as Ben Lucini, a soldier, in "Home and Away." However, his big break did not come until he scored a part in the 1993 soap opera "Another World." He gained more recognition for his TV performances, including Detective John Grant in the "Profiler" and Cole Turner in "Charmed." McMahon was also famous for portraying Dr. Christian Troy in "Nip/Tuck," Doctor Doom in the "Fantastic Four" duology, Jonah in "Runaways," and Jess LaCroix in "FBI: Most Wanted." The final movies he shot before his death include "The Surfer" and "The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat," per Wikipedia. Rest in peace, Julian McMahon!
