Baron Elie Robert De Rothschild Dies

Baron Elie Robert de Rothschild, who helped France's renowned Rothschild winemaking and banking dynasty recover from the ravages of World War II, died Monday while vacationing at his Austrian hunting lodge. He was 90.

Rothschild had been on a hunting trip at his lodge near the alpine village of Scharnitz outside Innsbruck when he suffered a fatal heart attack, police in the province of Tyrol said in a statement.

He had spent the past several days hunting game with friends in the heavily forested area and had planned to return home to France, police said.

He held a 25 percent stake in the Rothschild banking empire and oversaw the conversion of the former Paris-Lyon-Marseille railway into a travel company of hotels and restaurants.

Information on survivors and funeral arrangements was not immediately available.AP
I searched Cyberspace for his picture, as usual none is available.
May God rid the planet of these evil doers and their servants
