Overview
- HM Senior Coroner Professor Fiona Wilcox recorded a conclusion of death by misadventure at a May 2026 inquest.
- Hours after a heated argument over flight tickets, his wife said they traded self-harm threats and he acted impulsively during a night of on‑and‑off drinking.
- Household staff later found Pack with a ligature in a locked top‑floor bedroom of the St John’s Wood home after entering through a bathroom crawl space.
- Police told the court their scene work and phone review showed no evidence of third‑party involvement and no sign he planned his death.
- The coroner cited jet lag, alcohol, intense work pressures from Fortress’s European expansion, a history of impulsivity, and a prior family suicide as contributing factors.
