Mmm – it’s true, the Torygraph obits of sometimes-controversial figures are starting to get rather more gossip-columny and bitchy than necessary. It’s rather sad to see that the late Lord Pratt’s books weren’t even mentioned in it.
Even so, it’s been a long time since I saw an obit quite as spectacular as http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/07/04/db0402.xml …

@Dave:
Count Gottfried von Bismarck, who was found dead on Monday aged 44, was a louche German aristocrat with a multi-faceted history as a pleasure-seeking heroin addict, hell-raising alcoholic, flamboyant waster and a reckless and extravagant host of homosexual orgies.
Yep, I think that one wins… 🙂
