Charles Villiers, 59, had checked into the Durrants Hotel and was found dead by a housekeeper, The Times said.

A court heard that both he and his estranged wife, Emma Villiers, had been “financially ruined” and “psychologically damaged” by the lengthy legal battle, which had been pursued with what a judge described as an “extraordinary degree” of hatred.
