Michael passed away at the age of 52, and on the same date of his father's passing, 26 years later. He also died from a heart attack just like his father.

A family spokesperson shared in a statement: "Michael had suffered from diabetes for the last 20 years of his life, but his death is still a huge shock for all the family." Peter was also a diabetic. 

Michael opened a business for restoring classic cars, however, it wasn't successful so he went on to become a builder instead.

He left behind two teenagers and his wife Alison, with whom he'd been with for 25 years.

What did Michael think of his father?

Michael opened up about their strained relationship in his memoir "P.S. I Love You."

In the book, he candidly described Peter as being a "spiteful and neglectful" parental figure.

Michael also revealed that his father used to wake him up in the middle of the night when he was six years old to ask him which parent he'd like to live with, in case his parents got divorced. 

As a child, Michael expressed to his dad that he prefered to live with his mother, which allegedly sent his father into a rage. 

Michael also recalled a dark time when Peter allegedly disowned him and requested for him to remove his surname Sellers.

According to multiple reports, just hours before Peter's passing, he attempted to update his will so that his financial assets wouldn't go to his last wife Lynne.

The request wasn't processed in time, therefore Lynne got his entire estate, which meant that each of his children was left with around $1,000.
