It Was True
Eric didn’t even need to enter the room to have grasped what had happened. From simply talking to the police and doctors, it was established that a janitor had temporarily left a window open for cleaning and Conor had run and fallen straight out.

Clapton remained in a state of daze and shock. The funeral took place on a cold, horrid day a couple of days prior to his 46th birthday. He was broken.
