(1,461 posts)30. Her Father Was Accused of Embezzlement
Ghislaine Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell, did not "slip and drown" in the typical accidental sense. He died under mysterious circumstances on November 5, 1991, after disappearing from his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, which was anchored near the Canary Islands.
His body was later found floating in the Atlantic Ocean. Although the official cause of death was listed as a heart attack combined with accidental drowning, many have speculated foul play or suicide, especially since it was later revealed he had embezzled hundreds of millions of pounds from his companies' pension funds.
