Nicholas Brandram, 44, the man suspected of pushing a woman into the path of a bus on Putney Bridge in 2017, has been found dead at his home in Chiswick. The incident, known as the "Putney pusher" case, was captured on CCTV and sparked widespread attention. Brandram, a former Captain in the Scots Guards, was arrested in June of this year on charges of attempted grievous bodily harm, though he was later released under investigation.
The Met Police confirmed his death was unexpected and not believed to be suspicious. Brandram was found unresponsive at his home on Tuesday evening, and emergency services pronounced him dead upon arrival. His next-of-kin have been notified. Brandram, who was also arrested on suspicion of drug possession while in police custody, worked in private banking for HSBC.
He was related to European royalty, with his grandmother being Princess Katherine of Greece and his godfather being the late Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip.
