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.
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.
