Wife of vanished British lord at heart of murder mystery found dead
Lady Lucan
Police said on Wednesday they had found the body of  80-year-old Lady Lucan  after forcing entry to a house in the upmarket Belgravia area of London.
Over the years  the British press have reported supposed sightings of  Lord Lucan  across the world  including in Australia  India  the Netherlands and South Africa -- but  his  relatives believe  him  to be dead.
The London High Court declared  him  dead in 1999 and last year a judge issued a death certificate allowing his son George Bingham to inherit his title.
âMy own personal view  and it was one I took I think as an eight-year-old boy  is  he âs unfortunately been dead since that time (of  his  disappearance) â Bingham said last year.
One of numerous theories about what became of  Lucan   who would now be 82  was that  he  shot  himself  and was then fed to tigers at the zoo of  his  friend John Aspinall. Aspinall himself said in 2000 that  Lucan  had weighted himself down with a stone and drowned himself in the English Channel.
