Grade II listed bridge over the Thames, linking Putney and Fulham
Nicholas Brandram, a 44-year-old banker and descendant of Queen Victoria, has died at his west London home. He had been arrested in June over the 2017 Putney Bridge incident and was released on bail prior to his death. Police say the death is unexpected but not believed to be suspicious. The case has drawn media attention for years as investigators pursued suspects related to the Putney Bridge push.
