Did he die of natural causes?
Sorry should have read more carefully. My question was dumb.
“Parkinson’s disease”
brutal natural cause.
“nephew Dodi al-Fayed”
Wow didn’t know they were related. So would be Diana had she married Dodi.
Dude was bad azz...
A friend was installing windmill water pumps on Khashojgi’s 50,000 acre ranch in Kenya. We stopped in there back in 1980 to check on the progress.
They were doing the finishing work on the ranch house. Whoooeee! He had a 3000 foot grass runway and petitioned the Kenya government to allow him to lengthen & pave it so he could land his 727. Kenya said “No Way!”
Khashoggi wanted to build his “next house” over in a group of huge boulders. The architect was taking notes, then said, “But Mr. K, you don’t own this land.”
“Then I’ll buy it.”
“But it’s 30,000 acres!”
“Not a problem.”
His ranch manager tried to recruit me to fly a helo for them. Naaa, not my cup of tea!
Big figure in the ‘80s. RIP.
