“Top Gun: Maverick” actor James Handy not only died from being viciously stabbed, but he also suffered “neck compression,” which was another huge factor in his demise, according to the Los Angeles Medical Examiner.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The M.E. ruled that Handy was killed by a stab wound to the torso and neck compression, which is caused by age-related wear and tear in the nerve roots of the neck when they’re squeezed or put under abnormal pressure.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

As we reported, Handy, 81, was attacked with a knife by his girlfriend’s son, Michael Gledhill, inside Handy’s L.A. home on June 3, authorities said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Police found Handy seriously wounded in his front yard \u2014 and the actor was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Gledhill walked away from the crime scene and was caught on Ring camera footage — obtained by TMZ — casually passing by a neighbor’s house. But he didn’t get far … police officers quickly arrested him, also on video.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman charged Gledhill with one count of murder with a special allegation that he personally used a deadly weapon, a knife.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
