A relative of millionare Huguette Clark died shortly before he would have been notified of the $19 million fortune that would have gone to him.
The Daily Mail reported that Huguette Clark's relative, Timothy Henry Gray's body was discovered under Union Pacific Railroad overpass in Evanston by children. Gray,60, is the half great-nephew of Clark who passed away in 2011.
Gray did not know that he was entitled to some of the family fortune, which was based primarily on copper mining. The Daily Mail reported that Clark's fortune was approximately £307 million.
"Lieutenant Bull Jeffers of the Evanston Police Department said that there was no evidence of foul play involved in the death and that Gray was wearing a light jacket. He added that it wasn't clear if Gray was living under the overpass at the time of his death, however, other homeless people have been known to camp there during the year," reported The Daily Mail.
In Clark's will she left no money to her family, leaving it all to a goddaughter, attorney, accountant, hospital, doctor, her nurse and favorite museum as well as other employees and an art foundation she hoped to establish at one of her homes in Santa Barbara, California. She lived in recluse in New York City hospitals until her death in 2011.
Her relatives challenged her will in New York the AP reported and if the relatives do win the court challenge he would be entitled to approximately $19 million. If Gray died without a will, his spouse and children would be entitled to the money.
Fox News reported that Gray was the adopted grand son of former U.S. Senator William Andrews Clark. Huguette Clark is his daughter making Gray her half nephew.
