Lord
Milo Douglas who threw himself to his death from Reading Tower on
the Hallfield Estate, Bayswater, on July 21. It is believed he fell
from the eighth floor of the nine-storey block. He was the third son
of the 12th Marquess of Queensberry. Milo was not due to inherit the
title, that will go to his older brother Sholto, Viscount Drumlanrig
It was the saddest of endings to a life that had long been
troubled by manic depression – and sadly only the latest incident in
a trail of tragedy visited upon one of the oldest families in the
land.
Milo was a teacher turned outreach worker for the
charity Action Against Hunger UK.
But he is the latest victim
of what might be termed the
Queensberry Curse, an affliction that
has seen several family members meet untimely ends. Few seem to have
died peacefully in their beds.
