Prince Ludwig Rudolf; Descendant of Emperor

Prince Ludwig Rudolf of Hanover, 32, great-grandson of Germany’s last emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm II. He took his life last Monday after his wife died of an apparent drug overdose, police said in Linz, Austria. Isabelle of Hanover, 26, was found dead by her husband at Gmunden, a lakeside resort in upper Austria. A security police spokesman, who asked not to be identified, said the Austrian-born woman died of lung and brain edema. He said her death was probably caused by a drug overdose. The prince was found dead from a gunshot wound in a wooded area about 20 miles from Gmunden on Lake Traunsee, the police spokesman said. The prince’s hunting rifle was beside him, police said.
