Media magnate's body found off African coast
The Associated Press
MADRID, Spain — Robert Maxwell,
the flamboyant billionaire who built a
global publishing empire, was found
dead yesterday in waters off the
Canary Islands. He reportedly fell from
his 180-foot luxury yacht.
The death of the 68-year-old publisher ended the reign of a contentious press baron who battled press unions, barked out orders in one of eight languages and bullied editors as he built a $2 billion media conglomerate.
The Czechoslovak-born Maxwell, who escaped the Holocaust by immigrating to Britain in 1940, personally ran the empire. His death has raised questions about the future of his debt and how much he would include New York's Daily News.
"He was larger than life," British Conservative Party lawnmaker Anthony Beaumont-Dark said. "He was the Citizen Kane of his time. If you wrote a film about his life, it would be rejected as unrealistic."
British Prime Minister John Major called Maxwell "great character" and admired his work.
"Maxwell was a passionate friend of
Israel, and we are sorry about this heavy tragedy," Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir said. "God bless his memory."
In the last chapter of his career, he was accused by an investigative journalist of having close links with the Israeli secret service Mossad, a charge he denied.
Maxwell's body was found 20 miles northwest of Grand Canary Island after an extensive air-and-sea search, said Fernando Cano, representative at the rescue center in Madrid.
The body was taken by helicopter to the Gando air base on Grand Canary Island. Cano said Maxwell's wife, Elizabeth, and their son, Phillip, later identified the body.
The cause of death was not immediately known, but an autopsy was planned for today.
Maxwell was last seen alive on the deck of his yacht at 10 45 a.m., said John Campi, a Daily News representative.
In London, Charles Wilson, director of Maxwell's Mirror Group Newspapers, said there had been no suggestion of foul play.
