Nicholas Brandram, a 44-year-old London banker with royal family ties who faced charges related to being suspected of pushing a woman into traffic in 2017, was found dead at his home in West London on September 15. The police classified the death as unexpected but not suspicious. Brandram had been arrested in June and charged with attempted grievous bodily harm after surveillance footage revealed him shoving a pedestrian near Putney Bridge. He had connections to Queen Victoria’s lineage through his grandmother, Princess Katherine of Greece and Denmark, and received a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012.

Story summary
Nicholas Brandram, a 44-year-old millionaire banker and former British Army Captain with royal ties, was found dead at his home in Chiswick, west London on September 15. The Metropolitan Police treated his death as "unexpected" but not suspicious. In June, he had been arrested on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm related to the so-called "Putney Pusher" incident from May 5, 2017. CCTV footage showed Brandram shoving a woman into the path of an approaching 430 bus on Putney Bridge in what appeared to be an unprovoked attack. Surveillance captured how narrowly she avoided being hit by the bus as it swerved around her. The incident garnered significant media attention but no suspect was identified until now, when Brandram's arrest and subsequent death brought the case back into public focus.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
