She also questions whether the Los Angeles Police Department has examined the circumstances surrounding John’s death. Davis’ statement read:

“The family deserves to know the full circumstances surrounding Mr. Amos’ care and the events that led to his passing. We are committed to pursuing all available avenues to ensure that these questions are answered.”

He added that Shannon and “her legal team emphasize the importance of transparency in healthcare and the rights of families to access critical medical information.”

The legal practitioner insisted that the investigation will continue to seek answers and accountability in “this deeply personal and significant matter.”

The Amos family shockingly learned of his death through the news weeks after it happened. In a report by The Blast, the family released a statement accusing Kelly of creating a false image of a cordial relationship with the late John.

On the contrary, the family affirmed the father and son shared a troubled connection. John’s relatives, including Shannon and other close family members, revealed that John was kept away from them for over a year, and KC kept controlling and monitoring his interactions. Their statement explained:

“Despite our repeated attempts to maintain contact, KC prevented access to him, controlled and monitored his calls and severed ties with John’s daughter Shannon Amos, his brother Leslie “Syl“ Franklin, his grandchildren Quiera Colston and Jhazz Williams, his business manager Paul Baldessare, his god-daughter Amy Goudy, his niece Sherri Korsun, his former accountant and other close family members, friends, and loved ones.“

John’s relatives complained about the actor’s care during his final days, citing disturbing photos obtained from concerned neighbors and medical professionals. 

The family also expressed their suspicion of foul play, which may have led them to cremate him to avoid any potential investigation into his final days. They also revealed that they still have no death certificate and remain unsure of where or why the late TV personality passed.

“We refuse to rule out the possibility of foul play, especially given the involvement of two individuals,“ declared the family as they criticized Kelly’s role.
