Post-divorce
Fortensky fell down a flight of stairs at his home in San Juan Capistrano, California on January 29, 1999 and was hospitalized for two months, during which he was in a coma for six weeks. He suffers short-term memory loss as a result of the fall. He was reported to have been drunk at the time mourning the death of a prized pet.
He bought a three-bedroom house in Temecula, California in 2002 with money from the divorce settlement. In 2009 Taylor, with whom he remained friends, and spoke on the phone twice a month, reportedly gave him $50,000 to pay the $5,800/month mortgage and keep the house out of foreclosure. It was repossessed in 2010 after plummeting in value.
Fortensky's last phone call with Taylor was a day before she entered the hospital in February 2011. Following her March 2011 death, she left Fortensky $800,000 USD in her will. As of April 2011 he lives with his sister Donna in a rented two-bedroom bungalow in Menifee, California. He is unable to work following his accident, for which he takes medication. He is estranged from his sister, Linda, who sold information to The National Enquirer, and from his daughter, Julie, following a conflict over money.
