Nicholas Brandram, descendant of Greek royalty and Putney Pusher suspect, found dead

Nicholas Brandram, a 44-year-old banker and descendant of Princess Katherine of Greece and Denmark and Queen Victoria, was found dead at his home in Chiswick, west London, on the evening of Tuesday, September 15, 2026. Emergency services were called to the scene at 19:12, but he was pronounced dead upon their arrival. The Metropolitan Police stated that the death is currently being treated as unexpected but not suspicious, and a file is being prepared for the coroner.

Brandram had recently been the subject of significant public attention. In June 2026, he was arrested in connection with the notorious “Putney Pusher” case, a 2017 incident where a female pedestrian was pushed into the path of an oncoming bus on Putney Bridge. While the CCTV footage of the event went viral, the perpetrator remained unidentified for years. Brandram was never formally charged, though he remained under investigation at the time of his death. Some sources also noted he had faced previous legal scrutiny regarding suspected drug possession. Authorities have confirmed that his next-of-kin have been notified as the investigation into the circumstances of his death continues.
