NEW YORK (CP) - Andrea Bronfman, wife of former Seagrams chairman Charles Bronfman, has reportedly been killed in a traffic accident in New York City.New York police could not immediately confirm the death, but Canada's Jewish community says they are mourning the death of the noted philanthropist. The Bronfmans, whose father Sam founded the Seagrams empire, now live in New York.
Ed Morgan, president of the Canadian Jewish Congress, says Jewish communities around the world are mourning Bronfman's passing.
A spokesperson at the United Jewish Federation in Toronto says Bronfman's funeral will be held in New York and her family plans to bury her in Israel.

I'd bet anything that it was some SUV's fault.
A less philanthropic person would have been alive and well. Philanthropy is worse than chain smoking.

"Andrea Bronfman, the wife of well-known philanthropist Charles Bronfman and a committed philanthropist in her own right, died in New York on Monday. Bronfman reportedly succumbed to injuries she sustained when a car skidded off the road and struck her while she was enjoying a morning walk. She was 60."
Isn't this the woman who financed the hippie guru murderer's flight to Europe?
(Can't remember the criminal's name -- the one who was sprung on bail by Arlen Spector when he was practicing law and who put his hippie girl friend in a trunk and locked her in a storage closet in his apartment until the people downstairs complained because of the smell and leakage of body fluids. Holly somebody...) The criminal lived in Ireland and France for 20 years.

Searching google news, I couldn't find an article about this woman's death in any U.S. publication, strangely enough, only in Canadian and Israeli ones.
That's it! Ira Einhorn. His expenses were paid by a female Bronfman for years. He first fled to Canado.
I just Googled it. YES.
Thank you. You were the second to jog my memory.
OK. Now for the second question. Is it her daughter who was rumored to be having an affair with Bill Clinton? He was running around with the daughter (or estranged wife) of some Canadian distiller a couple of years ago.
I think you're correct.I've seen several "Court TV" type documentaries on Einhorn and he seems for all the world to be one of the most loathsome creatures on earth.
If Bronfman is,in fact,the same one I think she's guilty of being an accessory after the fact of that girl's murder and,thus,deserves a painful,horrific death.
THE tangled love life of Bill Clinton was again under the microscope yesterday when he was romantically linked with a glamorous blonde.
A magazine photo showed the former president of the United States in an intimate pose with the Canadian socialite Lisa Belzberg, 38.
They were photographed by Newsweek in front of a refrigerator at her mansion in Katonah, New York. It rekindled long-standing speculation about the pair, who have been spotted together at a number of functions over the past year.
According to the New York Post, Ms Belzberg, a millionairess separated from her husband, the Seagram alcohol heir Matthew Bronfman, about a month ago following a liaison with Mr Clinton.

Crime Library says it was a "Barbara Bronfman" that came up with Einhorn's bail:

Oddly, Google lead me to a post on FR. A thread I would normally avoid since the poster is graphics crazy.

THE marital split between Matthew Bronfman and Lisa Belzberg is on the mend. The couple, who have six children, separated last winter even as rumors abounded that Belzberg had become pals with Bill Clinton. Soon after, the blond and buxom Belzberg dated "West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin. Bronfman, a Seagram heir, found companionship with a woman in the fashion business. "She's out of the picture," said one insider. "She's banned from his office." Both parties are unattached now - except to each other. Husband and wife were seen recently dining at Nosidam, and at the bar of the Four Seasons hotel. Since they were never legally separated, they can quietly resume being married.
To drink alcohol is a sin. To provide the alcohol is an even bigger sin.
Silly...
was she hit by a taxi? that is a big problem in NYC, the taxi drivers are all insane, they come from every country in the world you can imagine, and their driving practices are third world.
