Just in time for the Olympic Games in London this summer, does Scotland Yard have an Olympic-size murder mystery to solve??? Stay tuned mystery thrill seekers.
Yes, Eva Rausing is dead in west London. She was found dead at her home located in the Belgravia district in Chelsea this week. Police have sealed the home. Police are unsure how long Eva has been dead.
Eva Rausing, 48, was the daughter of a US Coca-Cola executive. She led a life marred by severe drug addiction over decades. Eva made international headlines in 2008 when she got caught smuggling heroin and crack cocaine into the US embassy in London for a reception.
Few people who knew Eva closely, it seems, are surprised at her death. Least of which is her husband, Hans Kristian Rausing, who reportedly expressed no emotion over the event. The couple met at a rehab compound in the United States.
British police, from the beginning, called it an "unexplained death."
Hans. K, as he is known to his friends and associates, is an heir to a pretty sizeable fortune. His dad is Hans Rausing, 86,one of the world's wealthiest men, ranked 88th in the Forbes rich list (net worth: at $10 billion). The business was milk cartons. Tetra Pak milk cartons.
Eva's parents released a statement from South Carolina, saying: they were "deeply saddened by the death of their beloved daughter. Eva was a devoted wife for 20 years and mother of four much loved and wonderful children."
Scotland Yard continues to investigate.
Stay tuned mystery thrill seekers.
