Gabor’s adopted son dies of crash injuries
ZSA ZSA GABOR’S adopted son Oliver died Sunday — after getting in a motorcycle accident on the same day the 99-year-old Hollywood socialite suffered a fatal heart attack, a coroner official confirmed.
Oliver Prinz von Anhalt, 45, died on Christmas following his Dec. 18 accident landed him in the hospital, Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said Wednesday.
“He was the adopted son of Zsa Zsa,” Winter said, confirming they were legal next of kin. “We’re waiting to see the police report. The autopsy is pending.”
Oliver was adopted as an adult by Gabor and her ninth husband Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt in a business transaction that allowed him to add the “Prinz” title to his name. Gabor’s husband also reportedly purchased his royal moniker by paying Princess Marie-Auguste of Anhalt to adopt him as an adult. Gabor was rushed to a hospital from her Bel Air estate on Dec. 18 after her blood pressure plunged, Frédéric previously told The News. “Her heart just didn’t work anymore. Her pulse was almost no pulse at all,” he said. “There was enough breathing to take her down to the hospital to try again, but when we arrived, the doctor said, ‘We can't do anything.’ ” He said Gabor wished to be cremated and laid to rest near her sister Eva Gabor.
