A major detail in Julian McMahon’s death certificate has been uncovered, adding mystery to the Aussie actor’s final months amid a Scientology link bombshell.

An stunning detail in Julian McMahon’s death certificate has fueled further speculation about the actor’s mysterious final months of his life, after a Scientology link emerged following his death at the age of 56.

The Australian-American Nip/Tuck did not have a funeral, DailyMail.com reported on Thursday after obtaining the star’s death certificate.

McMahon’s body was instead quietly cremated in Clearwater, Florida, where he died as an inpatient at the Morton Plant Hospital on July 2.

His death certificate stated Florida’s family-owned Eternal Cremation Services handled the actor’s body.

A spokesperson for Eternal Cremation Services told DailyMail.com, “there was not” a funeral held anywhere for McMahon and could not confirm whether his wife, Kelly, attended his cremation at Palm State Crematory.

It’s been revealed he died from lung metastasis linked to head and neck cancer, according to the Pinellas County cremation approval report obtained by DailyMail.com, with no autopsy report understood to come.

The development follows the location of McMahon’s death, Clearwater, raising questions from social media users about why the actor was in the city, where the Church of Scientology is widely known to dominate.

Adding mystery to his presence in the city where the church is headquartered, McMahon’s address on his death certificate is listed as a residence on Ventura Boulevard, Encino, California.

However, this is a building reportedly home to a showbiz accountancy firm and two other businesses, not residences.

And there do not appear to be any property records linking McMahon and Kelly to the Clearwater area.

The celebrity couple previously lived in a home in Hollywood Hills before selling it for $2.18 million USD ($3.3 million AUD).

It’s understood Scientology members own a large portion of real estate in Clearwater, home to A-listers who follow the controversial religion, including, most famously, actors Tom Cruise and John Travolta.

One commentator recently took to X to question, “Why was Julian McMahon in Clearwater when he died? Like, that’s Scientology city.”

“The only celebrities that do are usually Scientologists. Surprised, that’s for certain!” another person said.

Other people quelled the link as the debate continued on Reddit, where one person said McMahon just simply “loved the beach”.

“I don’t see him being involved with Scientology,” another person said.

McMahon’s career took off with his role as Cole Turner in the hit supernatural television series Charmed from 2000 to 2003.

After Charmed, he gained wider recognition from 2003 to 2010 as plastic surgeon Dr Christian Troy in the medical drama Nip/Tuck.

On the big screen, McMahon is best known for playing Marvel villain Dr. Doom in Fantastic Four (2005) and its 2007 sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer.

His other film credits include Premonition, RED, Paranoia, You’re Not You, Swinging Safari, and, most recently, Australian film The Surfer opposite Nicolas Cage.

The only son of former Prime Minister Sir William McMahon is survived by his wife Kelly, an author, and his daughter, Madison (Maddy) McMahon, 25, whom he shared with his ex-wife, model and actress Brooke Burns.
