Jason passed away from a drug overdose after taking a combination of painkillers and other muscle relaxants in 1989.

He also had two children when he married second wife Katherine Carpenter – son Peter and daughter Sophie.

His will shows that he stipulated if his wife Katherine died before him his estate was to be left to Peter and Sophie.

If Katherine predeceased him the will also made provision for Paul and Valentine – his sons with Jill Ireland – who would each get $100,000.
