Victim of death by own action Led Double Life
London reports reveal a death by own action tied to a complex double life. Police link the man, Barry Holliday also called Johnny the Gent, to jewel thefts across Europe in the past decade. Detectives uncovered jewels valued at 100,800 pounds and search on. Holliday, a socialite with underworld ties, was found shot in a Virginia Water hotel room with a hollow walking stick concealing a tin. Fingerprints tied him to another alias Barry Fields and a 10,000 pound jewelry possession charge from London court last week, though he was free on 2,500 pounds bail. Yard officials have pursued clues for over a year.
