A billionaire philanthropist has been given one of Britain’s highest honors—years after he his his dead wife’s body in their home while he went on a two month drug binge.
Hans Rausing, 62, received the title of Knight Bachelor from King Charles III during an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle on Tuesday. The honor caps more than a decade of charitable giving by the London-based philanthropist, who is the grandson of Ruben Rausing, founder of the food-packaging giant, Tetrapak.
Rausing told police he had been so devastated by his wife Eva Louise Kemeny‘s death—caused by suspected heart failure and drug use at age 48 in 2012—that he could not “confront the reality” of what happened.
