Overview
- Nicholas Brandram, 44, was found unresponsive at his Chiswick home and pronounced dead by emergency services on Tuesday.
- Brandram was arrested in June on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm over the 5 May 2017 Putney Bridge attack and was later released under investigation while enquiries continued.
- CCTV of the original 2017 incident showed a jogger shove a 33-year-old woman into the path of a double-decker bus and the driver swerved to avoid her, leaving the victim with minor injuries.
- Media reports say Brandram worked as a senior private banker, served as a British Army captain, and had reported family links to European royalty, details that increased public attention to the case.
- Police will prepare a file for the coroner, a step that can lead to further inquiry, and the suspect's death means the criminal investigation will not proceed to any trial or charging outcome.
