Overview
- Cronin, 58, was found with fatal injuries on King's Road in the early hours of Monday after a fall from a second‑floor flat.
- The Metropolitan Police say they do not suspect third‑party involvement, with inquiries into the circumstances still underway.
- He had been sought for years over early‑2000s property frauds in Chelsea and Fulham that investigators say netted more than £5 million.
- He was linked to a 2017 Southwark Crown Court case that jailed Laylah de Cruz and Dianne Moorcroft, after a prosecutor said Cronin would draw significant interest if he returned to the UK.
- Friends quoted in reports reject the idea that he killed himself and say he had many enemies, though officials have not stated a motive.
