I was slightly too young to remember this. What a story, and what a mystery.

Back to the OP - the Storyville documentary about this is on BBC4 now.

Watched this earlier this evening. Fascinating Stuffs, though I reckon they downplayed the notion that he died either during or immediately after the jump. Though if he did it adds another level to the “how did some of the money fetch up at Tina Bar nine years later” question.

Watched this last week - great documentary then read the wikipedia page.
I believe that he probably died from the parachute jump, but it's fascinating that so many believed otherwise and that he was their fiend/husband/father/uncle.
Basil:
As I was walking the dog1 in the park this morning we chanced upon a woman (Probably late 30s) and her dog coming the other way. Both dogs decided to have a bark-fest. As we were each admonishing our respective mutts she unexpectedly let out a tremendous fart, at which point she scuttled away. ;D
She wasn't quick thinking enough to blame her dog.
Childishly, I'm still sniggering about it.
1 We've had to admit that this is her actual name.
