Rusbridger was found hanged in his home in 16 Feb 1994. The story was hushed up at the time until the police contacted MI5 who spent a number of days going through JR's possessions and eradicating or removing any thing that could be directly connected to him. The nature of his death was not verified although it was reported he died in a rubber suit with a breathing mask and a noose, hanging from the rafters. It appears that MI5 were intent on rubbishing him and his name by the details given out. However it was known he was supposed to be close to publishing a book about the Royal family and their sexual deviancies particularly when it came to black women. The manuscript was never found. Most of his library was defaced by MI5 and left after removing any reference to him. These books were sold to a book dealer in St Colomb from where we bought them.

A one line obituary appeared in the local press and nothing else was printed until much later in the year although the internet now reveils further information. We therefore would like to sell the collection as a whole.
