I heard about this yesterday, it's truly very sad, he was a good man and whether you agree with his politics or not I think he was a well respected man. I mean he got an honorary knighthood from the Queen, which must speak in volumes to his character, Americans generally don't get knighthoods.

On a side note, I never heard of this girl thing from 1969.

There isn't much to it.  He was driving drunk.   Went off a bridge and left a girl to drown because of his own ambitions.

He instead called a bunch of his personal aides about it... and didn't cop to it until her body and the car were found the next morning.

When he realized he couldn't cover up his involvement he turned himself in to the authroties.

 

 

I wonder what his punishment was.

2 or 3 months in jail.

Though the sentence was suspended... so he didn't serve any of it.
