EVEN to hardened detectives, it was a ­macabre scene. In a second-floor bedroom strewn with rubbish and swarming with flies, in one of London 's most exclusive addresses, lay the decomposing body of a woman crudely covered with a tarpaulin and bin bags. Her hand was still clutching the crack pipe that had killed her, but such was the decay she could only be formally identified by the serial number of her pacemaker.

The couple found love and happiness together in their fifties when, despite upbringings of privilege, they had both suffered great personal tragedy in their lives . Their wedding in 2014 was an opportunity for their two families to put behind them a seemingly endless list of catastrophes - including murder, suicide, drugs and a fatal accident - that had plagued them for decades. Friends of Mr Rausing credited Julia (together left) with bringing him happiness after his first wife Eva's (right) life was destroyed by her addiction to crack cocaine. Hans had concealed her body for two months because he could not 'confront the reality' of her death and 'could not cope' without her. His second wife helped him fight his own addiction and encouraged him to be extraordinarily generous with their charitable trust. But tragedy has hit again just ten years on as his beloved Julia died from cancer yesterday, aged 63. In the years since they wed, she had dedicated herself to a life of philanthropy along with her husband, whose friends have said that his main satisfaction in life has always been giving money to good causes. One friend told The Independent : 'They were palpably in love and affectionate towards each other and were a very touching couple who focused most of their time on how to give away money to those in need. They were also discreetly social while she also for many years had to battle cancer. Without a doubt, she was responsible for bringing Hans back from appalling grief and helping him find joy in life again.'
