F1 Boss Shot Himself Dead After Learning He Had Terminal Dancer
F1 Boss Max Mosley Shot Simself Dead After Learning He Had Terminal Dancer
F1 chief Max Mosley was found with a shotgun in his bedroom with a sign on the door which read "do not enter, call the police", a court heard
Daily Mirror 31 MAR 2022
Formula 1 boss Max Mosley “shot himself” after hearing he had terminal cancer, a court heard.
Mosley was found dead with “significant injuries consistent with a gunshot wound” at his London home in May last year.
Westminster Coroner’s Court heard the 81-year-old was receiving palliative care for lymphoma, which he was diagnosed with in 2019, at the time of his death.
On May 23, Mosley emailed his PA and gardener Henry Alexander telling him he planned to “end it all”.
He is said to have had a “final dinner” with his wife Jean that evening, but was in “great pain and did not eat much”, the court heard.
The next morning, Mr Alexander texted Mosley to tell him he had his newspaper but did not receive a reply - prompting him to use the spare key and let himself in.
On May 24, a note was found nailed to Mosley’s bedroom door reading: “Do not enter, call the police”.
Police were called and officers found Mosley on his bed with a shotgun.
The coroner said: “It was obvious he had used the shotgun to himself and endured a life-ending injury. It’s clear he had injuries not compatible with life.”
