Headlines throughout the US last week announced that a member of the wealthy Rothschild banking family died after his home was badly damaged in a fire. But new reports are now emerging indicating that the man may have been lying about his identity.
An 87-year-old man who was known as William de Rothschild was found dead in his burned Laurel Canyon home on November 28, the Los Angeles Times reported. In the days following, however, the newspaper discovered that he was not born with the surname and he does not appear in the Rothschilds’ official family tree.
