He Was Planning to Spend the Day With Him
Conor was born to Clapton and his Italian actress-model girlfriend, Lory del Santo, in 1986. One morning, as Conor was playing at home in the apartment he shared with his mother, he accidentally fell out the window of the high-rise building.

It was later discovered that the window had been inadvertently left open when janitorial work was being done in the apartment. Clapton, who was staying in a nearby hotel, was planning to pick up his son for a father-son lunch and a visit to the Central Park Zoo. It’s been said that upon hearing the news, Clapton “went cold.”
