Yet another 2016 victim.

One-time topical bad-taste joke:-

"I hear Lord Lucan has murdered his children's nanny!"

"Really? Such a shame! Good nannies are so hard to find these days!"

Can't say I'd be champing at the bit to be the next to hold the title, but I suppose George Bingham can now inherit his father's estate.

I thought he'd lost all his money which was supposed to be one of the reasons for him committing suicide (assuming he did)

Apparently his nickname was Lucky which is a little ironic for someone who lost everything gambling.
