Detectives are now investigating whether Alexander Mosley's death was an accident or suicide.

The 39-year-old restaurateur and economist was found dead at his mews home in Notting Hill, west London, on Wednesday afternoon.

Sources close to the investigation said Alexander may have been taking recreational drugs at the property, which is in the same street that former TV host Paula Yates was found dead in 2000.

Former Formula One boss Eddie Jordan - a friend of the family - said he was "devastated" and said Alexander was very close with his father.

Jordan, the founder and former owner of the Jordan team, said: "Max and Alexander particularly were very close. It's totally tragic, he was such a bright boy. I'm devastated for them."

Neighbours reported seeing Alexander return home with a friend just an hour before his death.

The Oxford graduate - whose grandfather was Oswald Mosley, former leader of the British Union of Fascists - was the co-founder of the fashionable Hereford Road restaurant near his home.

His father attracted international notoriety when the News of the World published footage of him in an S&M orgy with prostitutes.

But the 69-year-old was eventually awarded a record £60,000 in privacy damages against the paper last year over claims the orgy had a Nazi theme.
