Cleopatra Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 How's that for sod's law...? In Wyoming a homeless man was found frozen to death under a bridge. Sixty year old Timothy Henry Gray died not knowing that he had become a millionair after inheriting 19 million dollars in the will of the late eccentric heiress Huguette Clark. What a bum deal!

observer Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Perhaps Ms Clark should have given him something while they were both alive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Perhaps that would have been wise but, given that she was an eccentric recluse, chances are that she would not have known of his circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Perhaps Ms Clark should have given him something while they were both alive? My thought too Obs... until I googled and found that his relationship to her was that of being her her half great-nephew (through adoption). She was a recluse like Cleo said and was 104 when she died..... Grey the heir to her fortunes was 60 and was found dead with a cashiers cheque from 2003 in his wallet worth a 'significant amount of money'. His siblings said he had simply disappeared in 1990 without a word so I guess he chose to live that way and clearly didn't want any of the money he had/could have had. Guess if he was the heir to her fortune and he died without leaving a will his siblings will probably get it all now... Why don't I have any mega rich relatives that I've never known about (so wont miss if they pop their clogs) and who could leave me a fortune... ouch I know but I bet you were all thinking the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
