Eva Rausing Death: Hans Kristian Rausing Charged Over Body

LONDON — Hans Kristian Rausing, whose father made billions selling his stake in the Tetra Pak drinks-carton empire, has been charged in London with preventing the lawful burial of his American-born wife's body, British police said Tuesday.

While no cause of death has been established, the charge against Rausing – amid reports in British media that Eva Rausing's body lay in the couple's home for days – adds an element of the macabre to an already tragic story of a couple who struggled publicly with drugs while donating millions to anti-addiction charities.

Eva Rausing's body was found in the couple's luxury townhouse in an upscale London neighborhood on July 9 after police went to search the home following her husband's arrest on suspicion of drug possession.

Hans Kristian Rausing, 49, was then arrested in connection with the death, too, though police have said detectives are treating the death as "unexplained" pending the results of further tests after an initial autopsy was inconclusive.
