According to THR, Morgan is also accused of taking more than $262,000 from Lee’s autograph signing sessions. Lee’s daughter requested a restraining order be filed against Morgan prior to his death, alleging that Morgan was manipulating Lee, preventing him from seeing family and friends, and trying to take control of his money and business affairs in his older state of mind.

All of which were filed in Los Angeles according to ABC.All of the charges had began being investigated in March 2018.
