A resident told The Mail, “I went out to have a look and saw that it was landing close to Ozzy's house. All of us were talking about it and wondering what had happened.

Ozzy Osbourne ‘assisted suicide’ theories
The new revelations come as Osbourne's death sparked assisted suicide claims. The singer's wife, Sharon Osbourne, had told The Mirror in 2007 that the couple had ‘drawn up plans to go to the assisted suicide flat in Switzerland if we ever have an illness that affects our brains’.
On July 11, their daughter, Kelly Osbourne, said that Sharon's claim was ‘bull***t’.
“My mom said to get attention one time. My dad’s not dying,” Kelly said.
