MORE than a quarter of a century ago, media mogul and fraudster Robert Maxwell died under bizarre circumstances.
The body of the publishing baron and British MP was found floating in the ocean naked after he vanished from his luxury yacht in the Canary Islands.
But while an inquest ruled his death was the result of a heart attack and accidental drowning, conspiracy theories swirled, with many believing Mr Maxwell met with foul play.
• Mystery of doomed Flight 111
• Kmart hack solves annoying problem
• Jobs scoring biggest tax refunds
That theory was all the more convincing as three pathologists couldn’t agree on the cause of his death at the inquest.
It has also emerged the 68-year-old was due to meet high-profile Bank of England figures on the day he died.
It was supposed to be Mr Maxwell’s “day of reckoning”, as he was expected to explain the financial troubles plaguing his companies, Maxwell Communication Corporation and Mirror Group holdings, with two loans totalling $917 million still outstanding.
And after he died, it was also revealed Mr Maxwell had stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from his companies’ own pension fund in a desperate bid to improve the share price, which was seriously struggling.
Before the accident, Mr Maxwell, who escaped Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia in his youth, had also been accused of being a long-time agent for Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency.

And in 1991, Labour MP George Galloway called Mr Maxwell “one of the worst criminals of the century”.
Now, Kevin and Ian Maxwell have spoken about their father’s death for the first time in an interview with the Sunday Times.
Kevin Maxwell, 59, told the publication he had gotten into a “shouting match” with his father over the phone the night before he died, because the younger man wanted to prepare more thoroughly for the important bank meeting.
