Eva Rausing's body was discovered by police, after they arrested her husband for driving erratically in South London. Drugs were found in his car and a search of his home, revealed a terrible stench, indicating a decomposing body was present. Mrs. Rausings remains were found on the second floor of their $80,000,000 Cadogan Place mansion.

Mr. Rausing told the court he found his wife dead, presumably from a drug overdose and simply did not want her to leave. Therefore, he did not report her death to the authorities and covered her body in garbage bags and clothes.
