According to The Sun, the Marquess's partner for 36 years, Teresa Marshall de Paoli discovered him on Sunday evening having seemingly fallen onto the concrete patio that was beneath. Sadly, he died instantly upon hitting the ground.

The Marquess was found by Teresa when she was preparing dinner. She said she thought he looked as if he had been lying there for ages before she eventually found him. It is reported that as soon as she saw what had happened, Teresa immediately contacted emergency services.

She recalled how difficult it was when police initially treated it as a potential crime scene despite no foul play being suspected yet. Subsequently, she had an opportunity to say goodbye to her beloved partner which was filled with deep emotions.

Teresa revealed some details of what happened and explained that her Marquess might have slipped over while trying to help their pet cat Honeybun who had got herself stuck somewhere. Nevertheless, paramedics were on scene shortly but they couldn’t do anything to save him.

Afterward, Lady Kathryn Brudenell Bruce came to support Teresa. There was significant police presence in the area with investigators going through everything. At this point in time, she tearfully recounted her saddest moments grieving over her life partner throughout dementia illness.

An unexpected statement by Metropolitan Police spokespersons confirmed that no suspicious circumstances surrounded the passing away of the 98-year-old Marquess of Ailesbury.
