Novak died on July 3, 1971. In the official account of his death, he was found in a Paris apartment bathtub by James Dean. Pursuant to French law, no autopsy was performed because the medical examiner claimed to have found no evidence of foul play. The absence of an official autopsy has left many questions regarding Novak's cause of death.
