[1] Maxwell's body was found floating in the water off the Canary Islands after an impromptu five-day cruise on his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine. Despite the circumstances -- his media empire collapsing around him, mired in debt and pension-embezzlement scandal looming -- it is unclear whether Maxwell's death was a suicide, murder by foreign agents, or pure accident.
