He was the boy who refused to grow up, according to friends. Ben Duncan was a socialite, erstwhile reality TV star and university pal of Prince William and Kate Middleton. He died aged 45 last Thursday after falling seven floors from the rooftop bar of the Trafalgar St James hotel. The bar has sweeping views of the city and has plastic barriers around its perimeter as a safety precaution. Police have said that his death was “unexpected but non-suspicious”.
In a statement to the Daily Mail, police said: “Officers responded to concerns for a man on the roof of a building in Cockspur Street, Westminster at 23:02 hours on Thursday, 30 October.
