Thorson, who passed away in Los Angeles at age 65, was known for his memoir "Behind The Candelabra," detailing his six-year romance with Liberace.
In his 1988 memoir, Thorson alleged that Liberace funded his plastic surgeries to resemble a younger version of himself, including multiple procedures.
Thorson and Liberace had a tumultuous relationship, which ended as Thorson's drug use escalated; he claimed this was partially due to Liberace's influence.
Thorson's legal battle with Liberace, including a $113 palimony lawsuit, highlighted the entertainer's denial of his sexuality despite their long-term relationship.
