Heir To Tetra Pak Empire Arrested After Discovery Of Wife's Body
An heir to the multibillion-pound Tetra Pak empire is being treated at a hospital as police wait to interview him in connection with the death of his wife.
Hans Kristian Rausing was arrested on Monday after officers discovered the body of his 48-year-old wife, Eva, at their home in Belgravia, west London.
Rausing had earlier been arrested on suspicion of possession of drugs, which lead to a search of his in Cadogan Place, Belgravia, one of the most exclusive streets in London.
During this search the body of his wife was discovered.
Rausing was then rearrested in connection with the death, the cause of which is still unknown.
A postmortem at Westminster mortuary on Tuesday failed to establish the cause of Mrs Rausing's death. Further toxicology tests are being carried out to establish how she died.
Scotland Yard said there was a police presence at the hospital, but it is understood that Rausing has yet to be interviewed over the death of his wife.
The couple, who have four teenage children, have struggled for many years with drug addiction, narrowly escaping prison in 2008 after heroin and £2,000 worth of crack cocaine were found at their home. Mrs Rausing had been arrested after trying to smuggle several wraps of cocaine into a reception at the American embassy in Grosvenor Square.
