Finally declared dead.......I wonder what really happened to him?




BBC News


Lord Lucan death certificate granted

A death certificate has been issued 42 years after the peer vanished when his children's nanny Sandra Rivett was bludgeoned to death in London. He was declared dead in 1999, despite dozens of unverified sightings, but the new ruling gives his son the right to inherit the family title.
