His wife revealed that her husband had been suffering from dementia at the time of his death.
A 98-year-old aristocrat has died after falling out of his bedroom window while letting his cat out, Metro reported. The incident happened on May 12 when Michael Sydney Cedric Brudenell-Bruce, Marquess of Ailesbury fell out of his bedroom window and hit a concrete patio at his London home.
Recounting the incident, his wife, Teresa Marshall de Paoli, 88 said, ''It was an absolutely freak accident. I think the cat called Honeybun got her head stuck and he pushed it (the window) up and lost his balance and fell onto the patio. He hit the concrete with the back of his head.''
He had been lying there for over an hour before she found him. She then immediately contacted police and her daughter, Lady Kathryn Brudenell Bruce who arrived soon after.
