"Top Gun: Maverick" actor James Handy not only died from being viciously stabbed, but he also suffered "neck compression," which was another huge factor in his demise, according to the Los Angeles Medical Examiner.

As we reported, Handy, 81, was attacked with a knife by his girlfriend's son, Michael Gledhill, inside Handy's L.A. home on June 3, authorities said.
