15 celebrity deaths that seem too shady to be true (With Pictures)

2. Amschel Rothschild

At one point, he was poised to inherit the entire Rothschild dynasty. He shied away from business, preferring to race classic cars, look after his kids, and tend to his farm. For these reasons, he was viewed as a stark contrast to the heartless, cold and calculating characteristics of the typical Rothschild businessman.

In 1966, Amschel was found dead in his hotel room. The official story is that he hung himself using his bathrobe belt, which he tied on the towel bar of his bathroom. How do you hang yourself from a towel bar barely four-feet off the ground? When French police found the body, they gave the bathrobe belt a tug, and the entire towel bar came out of the wall, meaning it could not have supported his body weight. The French police were later told to close their investigation.

But why kill Amschel Rothschild? As mentioned earlier, he was poised to take over the Rothschild dynasty. He didn’t even enter the family business until age 32, before that he had spent his time as racer of classic cars. He was gentle, kind, and a true gentlemen. In short, he was nothing like the other Rothschilds. They often feared he wasn’t aggressive or strong enough to do things that he might consider to be immoral. There is a popular theory that he was killed because he didn’t fit the classic “evil banker” stereotype.
