Rothschild’s Ex-Wife Found Dead, Hanging From Doorknob At Home
Annabelle Neilson dies aged 49-years-old – police say death is ‘not suspicious’
Rothschild’s ex-wife Annabelle Neilson was found dead in her London home The ex-wife of elite banker Nataniel Rothschild has been found dead at her home in Chelsea, London. 49-year-old Annabelle Neilson’s body was discovered hanging from a doorknob in the bathroom of her $4.1 million mansion on Thursday, but news of her sudden and tragic death has only just been made public. Police have yet to confirm the cause of her death, and haven’t ruled out drug or alcohol use, but say they are “not treating it as suspicious.” Neilson was previously married to Nathaniel Rothschild – son of Lord Jacob Rothschild and heir to his family’s fortune – for three years after a six-year relationship. After divorcing Rothschild she was reportedly forced to sign a confidentiality agreement and rescind the dynastic name. Since splitting with the banking heir, she was in an extremely close relationship with fashion designer Alexander McQueen who also died in eerily similar circumstances to Neilson. McQueen’s death was announced on the afternoon of February 11, 2010. In the morning, his housekeeper found him hanging from a doorknob at his home in Green Street, London W1. Annabelle Neilson was supposedly the last person to see McQueen alive and she was left devastated by his death
