Formula 1 boss Max Mosley “shot himself” after hearing he had terminal cancer, a court heard .The 81-year-old was found dead with “significant injuries consistent with a gunshot wound” at his London home in May last year.
Westminster Coroner’s Court heard Mosley 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.
